26 then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,

they will see God’s face and shout for joy;

he will restore them to full well-being.

27 And they will go to others and say,

‘I have sinned, I have perverted what is right,

but I did not get what I deserved.

28 God has delivered me from going down to the pit,

and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’

26 then man prays to God, and he accepts him;

he sees his face with a shout of joy,

and he restores to man his righteousness.

27 He sings before men and says:

‘I sinned and perverted what was right,

and it was not repaid to me.

28 He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit,

and my life shall look upon the light.’

26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him:

And he shall see his face with joy:

For he will render unto man his righteousness.

27 He looketh upon men, and if any say,

I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,

And it profited me not;

28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit,

And his life shall see the light.

26 When he prays to God,

he will be accepted.

And God will receive him with joy

and restore him to good standing.

27 He will declare to his friends,

‘I sinned and twisted the truth,

but it was not worth it.

28 God rescued me from the grave,

and now my life is filled with light.’

26 He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him,

He shall see His face with joy,

For He restores to man His righteousness.

27 Then he looks at men and says,

‘I have sinned, and perverted what was right,

And it did not profit me.’

28 He will redeem his soul from going down to the Pit,

And his life shall see the light.

26 That person will pray to God, and God will listen to him.

He will see God’s face and will shout with happiness.

And God will set things right for him again.

27 Then he will say to others,

‘I sinned and twisted what was right,

but I did not receive the punishment I should have received.

28 God bought my life back from death,

and I will continue to enjoy life.’

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.

26 He shall pray unto †God, and he will receive him with favour; and he shall see his face with shoutings, and he will render unto man his righteousness. 27 He will sing before men, and say, I have sinned, and perverted what was right, and it hath not been requited to me; 28 He hath delivered my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall see the light.

26 They will pray to God, who will be pleased with them. 

They will see God’s face and shout for joy 

as he restores their righteousness.

27 Each one sings in front of other people and says, 

‘I sinned and did wrong instead of what was right, 

and it did me no good. 

28 The messenger has freed my soul from going into the pit, 

and my life will see the light.’ 

26 He will pray to God, and God will delight in him.

That man will see His face with a shout of joy,

and God will restore his righteousness to him.

27 He will look at men and say,

“I have sinned and perverted what was right;

yet I did not get what I deserved.

28 He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,

and I will continue to see the light.”

26 then he prays to God, and is accepted by him,

he comes into his presence with joy,

and God repays him for his righteousness.

27 That person sings to others and says,

‘I sinned, and perverted what was right,

and it was not paid back to me.

28 He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,

and my life shall see the light.’

26 He prays to God, then he accepts him,

and he sees his face with a shout of joy,

and he repays to the human being his righteousness.

27 “He will sing to men, and he will say,

‘I have sinned and have perverted what is right,

and it was not paid back to me.

28 He redeemed my life from going down into the pit,

so I will enjoy the light.’

26 He prays to God and finds favor with him.

He sees God’s face and shouts with joy.

God makes him right with himself again.

27 Then the person comes to others and says,

‘I sinned. I made what was wrong appear to be right.

But I wasn’t punished as I should have been.

28 God set me free. He kept me from going down into the grave.

So I’ll live to enjoy the light that leads to life.’
