|
|
10. I said in the cessation of my days, I shall go to the gates of Sheol; I am called to account for the rest of my years.
|
10. I H589 said H559 in the cutting off H1824 of my days H3117 , I shall go H1980 to the gates H8179 of the grave H7585 : I am deprived H6485 of the residue H3499 of my years H8141 .

|
12. Mine age H1755 is departed H5265 , and is removed H1540 from H4480 me as a shepherd H7473 's tent H168 : I have cut off H7088 like a weaver H707 my life H2416 : he will cut me off H1214 with pining sickness H4480 H1803 : from day H4480 H3117 even to H5704 night H3915 wilt thou make an end H7999 of me.
|
|
13. I leveled my soul until morning. Like a lion, so He shatters all my bones. From day until night You make an end of me.
|
13. I reckoned H7737 till H5704 morning H1242 , that , as a lion H738 , so H3651 will he break H7665 all H3605 my bones H6106 : from day H4480 H3117 even to H5704 night H3915 wilt thou make an end H7999 of me.
|
|
14. Like a swift or a crane, so I chatter. I moan as the dove; my eyes look weakly to the heights, O Jehovah; it presses me down; be surety for me!
|
14. Like a crane H5483 or a swallow H5693 , so H3651 did I chatter H6850 : I did mourn H1897 as a dove H3123 : mine eyes H5869 fail H1809 with looking upward H4791 : O LORD H136 , I am oppressed H6234 ; undertake H6149 for me.

|
|
16. O Lord, on them they live, and for all in them is the life of my spirit. And You heal me, and make me live.
|
16. O Lord H136 , by H5921 these things men live H2421 , and in all H3605 these H2004 things is the life H2416 of my spirit H7307 : so wilt thou recover H2492 me , and make me to live H2421 .

|
17. Behold, for peace was bitter to me, most bitter; but You loved my soul from the pit of destruction; You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
|
17. Behold H2009 , for peace H7965 I had great bitterness H4751 H4843 : but thou H859 hast in love H2836 to my soul H5315 delivered it from the pit H4480 H7845 of corruption H1097 : for H3588 thou hast cast H7993 all H3605 my sins H2399 behind H310 thy back H1460 .
|
|
18. For Sheol cannot thank You; death cannot praise You; the ones going down to the Pit cannot hope for Your truth.
|
18. For H3588 the grave H7585 cannot H3808 praise H3034 thee, death H4194 can not celebrate H1984 thee : they that go down H3381 into the pit H953 cannot H3808 hope H7663 for H413 thy truth H571 .
|
|
19. The living, the living is the one thanking You; as I do today. The father makes known Your truth to his sons.
|
19. The living H2416 , the living H2416 , he H1931 shall praise H3034 thee , as I do this day H3117 : the father H1 to the children H1121 shall make known H3045 H413 thy truth H571 .
|
|
20. For Jehovah will save me; and we will play my songs on stringed instruments all the days of our life, at the house of Jehovah.
|
20. The LORD H3068 was ready to save H3467 me : therefore we will sing my songs H5059 to the stringed instruments H5058 all H3605 the days H3117 of our life H2416 in H5921 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
21. For Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs and rub it on the ulcer, and he will live.
|
21. For Isaiah H3470 had said H559 , Let them take H5375 a lump H1690 of figs H8384 , and lay it for a plaster H4799 upon H5921 the boil H7822 , and he shall recover H2421 .
|
|
22. And Hezekiah said, What is the sign that I will go up to the house of Jehovah?
|
22. Hezekiah H2396 also had said H559 , What H4100 is the sign H226 that H3588 I shall go up H5927 to the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 ?
