10. I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years.”
11. I said, “I won’t see Yah, Yah in the land of the living. I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
12. My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me.
13. I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.
14. I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”
15. What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.
16. Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them: you restore me, and cause me to live.
17. Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
