14Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I did moan as a dove; my eyes fail [with looking] upward: Lord, I am oppressed, be you my collateral.
15What shall I say? he has both spoken to me, and himself has done it: I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
16Lord, by these things men live; Wholly therein is the life of my spirit: Why recover you me, and make me to live.
17Behold, [it was] for [my] peace [that] I had great bitterness: But you have in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; For you have cast all my sins behind your back.
18For Sheol can`t praise you, death can`t celebrate you: Those who go down into the pit can`t hope for your truth.
19The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known your truth.
20Yahweh is [ready] to save me: Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments All the days of our life in the house of Yahweh.
