“He will pray to God, and He shall be favorable to him,
So that he looks at His face with joy;
For God restores to man His righteousness [that is, his right standing with God—with its joys].

“Why is the light given to him who is in misery,
And life to the bitter in soul,

“Yet God draws away the mighty by His power;
He rises, but no one has assurance of life.

‘God has redeemed my life from going to the pit [of destruction],
And my life shall see the light.’”
