10 I said, “In the prime of my life must I go through the gates of death and be robbed of the rest of my years?”

12 My lifetime is plucked up and taken from me like a shepherd's tent. My life is shriveled like woven cloth; God cuts me off from the loom. Between daybreak and nightfall you carry out your verdict against me.
12 Like a shepherd’s tent my house has been pulled down and taken from me. Like a weaver I have rolled up my life, and he has cut me off from the loom; day and night you made an end of me.
13 I cried out until morning: "Like a lion God crushes all my bones. Between daybreak and nightfall you carry out your verdict against me.
13 I waited patiently till dawn, but like a lion he broke all my bones; day and night you made an end of me.
14 Like a swallow I chirp; I moan like a dove. My eyes have grown weary looking to heaven. Lord, I'm overwhelmed; support me!"

16 The LORD Most High is the one who gives life to every heart, who gives life to the spirit!
16 Lord, by such things people live; and my spirit finds life in them too. You restored me to health and let me live.
17 Look, he indeed exchanged my bitterness for wholeness. You yourself have spared my whole being from the pit of destruction, because you have cast all my sins behind your back.
17 Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back.
18 The underworld can't thank you, nor can death praise you; those who go down to the pit can't hope for your faithfulness.
18 For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living can thank you, as I do today. Parents will tell children about your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness.

20 The LORD will save me, and we will sing with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the temple of the LORD.
