15 (A)What shall I say?
[a]For He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done it;
I will (B)walk [b]quietly all my years because of the (C)bitterness of my soul.
16 Lord, (D)by these things people live,
And in all these is the life of my spirit;
[c](E)Restore me to health and (F)let me live!
17 Behold, for my own welfare I had great bitterness;
But You have [d](G)kept my soul from the pit of [e]nothingness,
For You have (H)hurled all my sins behind Your back.
