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 is an (A)interceding angel for him,
One out of a thousand,
To remind a person of what is [a]right for him,
24 And he is gracious to him, and says,
‘Free him from (B)going down to the pit,
I have found a (C)ransom’;
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,
Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;
26 Then he will (D)pray to God, and He will accept him,
So that (E)he may see His face with joy,
And He will restore His righteousness to that person.
27 He will sing to people and say,
‘I (F)have sinned and perverted what is right,
And it is not (G)proper for me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit,
And my life will (H)see the light.’
