^81 (A)My soul faints for Your salvation,
But I hope in Your word.

¹⁴ If I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’
And to the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister,’
¹⁵ Where then is my ^(A)hope?
As for my hope, who can see it?
¹⁶ Will they go down ^(B)to the gates of ^[a]Sheol?
Shall we have ^(C)rest together in the dust?”
