23 I wish that my words were written down,
that they were recorded on a scroll
24 or were inscribed in stone forever
by an iron stylus and lead!
25 But I know my living Redeemer,[a](A)
and He will stand on the dust[b] at last.[c](B)
26 Even after my skin has been destroyed,[d]
yet I will see God in[e] my flesh.(C)
27 I will see Him myself;
my eyes will look at Him, and not as a stranger.[f]
My heart longs[g] within me.(D)

    and he will stand upon the earth at last.
26 And after my body has decayed,
    yet in my body I will see God![a]
27 I will see him for myself.
    Yes, I will see him with my own eyes.
    I am overwhelmed at the thought!
