22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to the destroyers.
23 "If there is beside him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show to man what is right for him;
24 Then God is gracious to him, and says, `Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.`
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child`s; He returns to the days of his youth.
26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, So that he sees his face with joy: He restores to man his righteousness.
27 He sings before men, and says, `I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it didn`t profit me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit, My life shall see the light.`
