16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
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 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy 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.
