¹³ For you have rescued me from death;
    you have kept my feet from slipping.
So now I can walk in your presence, O God,
    in your life-giving light.

¹³ for your love for me is very great.
    You have rescued me from the depths of death.^[a]

¹⁷ For the Lamb on the throne^[a]

He will lead them to springs of life-giving water.
    And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

⁸ He will swallow up death forever!
    The Sovereign Lord will wipe away all tears.
He will remove forever all insults and mockery
    against his land and people.
    The Lord has spoken!

¹⁵ But as for me, God will redeem my life.
    He will snatch me from the power of the grave. Interlude

²⁴ Though they stumble, they will never fall,
    for the Lord holds them by the hand.
