17 Some were sick[a] through their sinful ways
and because of their iniquities endured affliction;(A)

and they drew near to the gates of death.(B)

and he saved them from their distress;
20 he sent out his word and healed them
and delivered them from destruction.(C)

and tell of his deeds with songs of joy.(D)

Good News Translation
17 Some were fools, suffering because of their sins
and because of their evil;
18 they couldn't stand the sight of food
and were close to death.
19 Then in their trouble they called to the Lord,
and he saved them from their distress.
20 He healed them with his command
and saved them from the grave.
21 They must thank the Lord for his constant love,
for the wonderful things he did for them.
22 They must thank him with sacrifices,
and with songs of joy must tell all that he has done.
