10 “I said that halfway through my life I will go through the gates of Sheol; I am sent there for the rest of my years. (Sheol h7585)

I I said in [the] half of days my let me go in [the] gates of Sheol I have been caused to miss [the] remainder of years my. (Sheol h7585)

12 My life is removed and carried away from me like a shepherd's tent; I have rolled up my life like a weaver; you are cutting me off from the loom; between day and night you are ending my life.

13 I cried out until the morning; like a lion he breaks all my bones. Between day and night you are ending my life.

I have lain down until morning like lion so he breaks all bones my from day unto night you make an end of me.

14 Like a swallow I chirp; I coo like a dove; my eyes grow tired with looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed; help me.

Like a swallow a crane so I chirp I moan like dove they are cast down eyes my to the height[s] O Lord oppression [belongs] to me stand surety for me.

15 What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, and has done it; I will walk slowly all my years because I am overcome with grief.

16 Lord, the sufferings you send are good for me; may my life be given back to me; you have restored my life and health.

O Lord on them people live and to all in them [the] life of spirit my and may you restore to health me and preserve alive me.

17 It was for my benefit that I experienced such grief. You have rescued me from the pit of destruction; for you have thrown all my sins behind your back.

Here! for welfare it was bitter to me bitterly and you you loved life my from [the] pit of destruction for you threw away behind back your all sins my.
