¹¹ I said, “I will not again see the Lord himself^(A)
    in the land of the living;^(B)
no longer will I look on my fellow man,
    or be with those who now dwell in this world.

¹⁷ Surely it was for my benefit^(A)
    that I suffered such anguish.^(B)
In your love you kept me
    from the pit^(C) of destruction;
you have put all my sins^(D)
    behind your back.^(E)
