³ O Lord, ^(A)You brought my soul up from the grave;
You have kept me alive, ^[a]that I should not go down to the pit.

28 To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
^(A)Do not be silent to me,
^(B)Lest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.

¹⁷ Indeed it was for my own peace
That I had great bitterness;
But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption,
For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
¹⁸ For ^(A)Sheol cannot thank You,
Death cannot praise You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth.

¹³ For great is Your mercy toward me,
And You have delivered my soul from the depths of ^[a]Sheol.

^10 (A)For You will not leave my soul in ^[a]Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to ^[b]see corruption.

^4 (A)Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;
Yet I will look again ^(B)toward Your holy temple.’
⁵ The ^(C)waters surrounded me, even to my soul;
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
⁶ I went down to the ^[a]moorings of the mountains;
The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
Yet You have brought up my ^(D)life from the pit,
O Lord, my God.

^20 (A)You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
^(B)Shall revive me again,
And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

^13 (A)For You have delivered my soul from death.
Have You not kept my feet from falling,
That I may walk before God
In the ^(B)light of the living?
