23 “Oh that my words were written!
    Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 Oh that with an iron pen and lead
    they were graven in the rock for ever!
25 For I know that my Redeemer[a] lives,
    and at last he will stand upon the earth;[b]
26 and after my skin has been thus destroyed,
    then from[c] my flesh I shall see God,[d]
27 whom I shall see on my side,[e]
    and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
    My heart faints within me!

23 Oh that my words were now written!
Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 That with an iron pen and lead
They were graven in the rock for ever!
25 [a]But as for me I know that my [b]Redeemer liveth,
And at last he will stand up upon the [c]earth:
26 [d]And after my skin, even this body, is destroyed,
Then without my flesh shall I see God;
27 Whom I, even I, shall see, [e]on my side,
And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.
My [f]heart is consumed within me.
