¹¹ I said: I will never see the Lord,
the Lord in the land of the living;^(A)
I will not look on humanity any longer
with the inhabitants of what is passing away.^[a]

¹⁷ Indeed, it was for my own well-being
that I had such intense bitterness;^(A)
but your love has delivered me
from the Pit of destruction,^(B)
for you have thrown all my sins behind your back.^(C)
