`
I --
I
said in the cutting off of my days, I go in
to the gates of Sheol,
I have
numbered
the remnant
of mine
years.
I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall
go to the gates of the
grave:
I am
deprived
of
the residue
of my
years.
I said, I do
not see Jah
--
Jah!
In the land of the living ,
I do
not
behold man any
more ,
With the inhabitants of the world.
I said, I shall
not see the
LORD,
even
the
LORD,
in the land of the living :
I shall
behold man no
more with the inhabitants of the world.
My
sojourning
hath
departed, And been
removed from me as a shepherd's tent ,
I have drawn
together,
as
a weaver ,
my life ,
By
weakness
it
cutteth
me off ,
From day unto
night Thou dost
end me.
Mine
age
is
departed, and is
removed from me as a shepherd's tent :
I have cut
off
like
a weaver my life :
he
will
cut
me off with
pining
sickness:
from day even
to
night wilt
thou make
an
end of
me.
I have
set
`Him'
till morning as a lion, So doth
He break all my bones ,
From day unto
night Thou dost
end me.
I reckoned
till morning ,
that,
as a lion, so will
he break all my bones :
from day even
to
night wilt
thou make
an
end of
me.
As
a crane --
a swallow --
so I chatter ,
I mourn as a dove ,
Drawn
up
have
been
mine eyes on
high,
O Jehovah
, oppression
`is'
on
me ,
be
my
surety
.
Like
a crane or
a swallow ,
so did
I chatter :
I did
mourn as a dove :
mine eyes fail
with
looking
upward:
O LORD
, I
am
oppressed;
undertake
for
me.
--
What do
I say? seeing
He said
to
me, And He
Himself hath wrought,
I go softly all my years for
the bitterness of my soul.
What shall
I say? he hath
both
spoken
unto
me, and himself hath done
it:
I shall
go softly all my years in
the bitterness of my soul.
Lord, by these do
`
men '
live, And by
all
in them
`
is '
the life of my spirit ,
And
Thou savest
me, make me also
to live ,
O
LORD, by these things
men live, and in all
these
things
is the life of my spirit :
so
wilt
thou recover
me, and
make me to live .
Lo
, to
peace
He
changed
for me
bitterness ,
And
Thou hast delighted
in my soul without
corruption ,
For Thou hast cast behind
Thy
back
all my sins.
Behold
, for peace
I
had
great
bitterness :
but
thou hast in love
to
my soul delivered
it
from
the
pit
of
corruption :
for thou hast cast all my sins behind
thy
back
.
For Sheol
doth
not
confess
Thee, Death doth
not praise
Thee ,
Those
going
down to
the pit hope not
for Thy truth.
For the
grave
cannot
praise
thee, death can
not celebrate
thee :
they
that
go
down into
the pit cannot
hope for thy truth.
The living, the living, he doth
confess
Thee.
The living, the living, he shall
praise
thee ,
as
I
do
this
day:
the
father
to
the
children
shall
make
known
thy
truth
.
Like
myself
to-day
--
a
father
to
sons
Doth
make
known
of
Thy
faithfulness,
O
Jehovah
--
to save me: And
my
songs
we sing all days of our lives
In the house of Jehovah
. '
The
LORD
was
ready
to save me: therefore
we will
sing my
songs
to
the
stringed
instruments
all the
days of our life
in the house of the
LORD
.
And
Isaiah saith
, `
Let them take a bunch
of figs, and plaster
over
the ulcer
, and he liveth
. '
For
Isaiah had
said
, Let them take a lump
of figs, and lay
it
for
a
plaister
upon
the boil
, and he shall
recover
.
And
Hezekiah saith
, `
What `
is '
the sign that I go up to the house of Jehovah!'
Hezekiah also
had
said
, What is the sign that I shall
go up to the house of the
LORD?
