26 And after my skin has been destroyed,

yet in my flesh I will see God;

27 I myself will see him

with my own eyes—I, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!

26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,

yet in my flesh I shall see God,

27 whom I shall see for myself,

and my eyes shall behold, and not another.

My heart faints within me!

26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body,

Yet in my flesh shall I see God:

27 Whom I shall see for myself,

And mine eyes shall behold, and not another;

Though my reins be consumed within me.

26 And after my body has decayed,

yet in my body I will see God!

27 I will see him for myself.

Yes, I will see him with my own eyes.

I am overwhelmed at the thought!

26 And after my skin is destroyed, this I know,

That in my flesh I shall see God,

27 Whom I shall see for myself,

And my eyes shall behold, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!

26 Even after my skin has been destroyed,

in my flesh I will see God.

27 I will see him myself;

I will see him with my very own eyes.

How my heart wants that to happen!

26 And after my skin, even this body, is destroyed,

Then without my flesh shall I see God;

27 Whom I, even I, shall see, on my side,

And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.

My heart is consumed within me.

26 And if after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see †God; 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: —my reins are consumed within me.

26 Even after my skin has been stripped off my body, 

I will see God in my own flesh. 

27 I will see him with my own eyes, 

not with someone else’s. 

My heart fails inside me! 

26 Even after my skin has been destroyed,

yet I will see God in my flesh.

27 I will see Him myself;

my eyes will look at Him, and not as a stranger.

My heart longs within me.

26 and after my skin has been thus destroyed,

then in my flesh I shall see God,

27 whom I shall see on my side,

and my eyes shall behold, and not another.

My heart faints within me!

26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,

but from my flesh I will see God,

27 whom I will see for myself,

and whom my eyes will see and not a stranger.

My heart faints within me.

26 After my skin has been destroyed,

in my body I’ll still see God.

27 I myself will see him with my own eyes.

I’ll see him, and he won’t be a stranger to me.

How my heart longs for that day!
