22. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers.
23. If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him;
24. Then God is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.
25. His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s; He returneth to the days of his youth.
26. He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.
27. He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not:
28. He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light.
