23 “If there is beside him an angel,
    an interpreter, one among a thousand,
    to show to man what is right for him;
24 then God is gracious to him, and says,
    ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit,
    I have found a ransom.’
25 His flesh will be fresher than a child’s.
    He returns to the days of his youth.
26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him,
    so that he sees his face with joy.
    He restores to man his righteousness.
27 He sings before men, and says,
    ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,
    and it didn’t profit me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit.
    My life will see the light.’

23 If there be for him (A)an angel,
    (B)a mediator, (C)one of the thousand,
    to declare to man what is (D)right for him,
24 and he is merciful to him, and says,
    ‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;
    I have found (E)a ransom;
25 let his flesh (F)become fresh with youth;
    let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;
26 then man[a] (G)prays to God, and he accepts him;
    he (H)sees his face with a shout of joy,
and he (I)restores to man his righteousness.
27     He sings before men and says:
‘I (J)sinned and perverted what was right,
    and it was not repaid to me.
28 He has redeemed my (K)soul from going down (L)into the pit,
    and my life shall (M)look upon the light.’
