My heart faints within me!

with my own eyes—I, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!

CSBChristian Standard Bible

But I know that my Redeemer lives,

and at the end he will stand on the dust.

I will see him myself;

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

My heart longs within me.

NLTNew Living Translation

“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,

I will see him for myself.

Yes, I will see him with my own eyes.

I am overwhelmed at the thought!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

and at the last he will stand up upon the earth.

And after my skin has been thus destroyed,

but from my flesh I will see God,

whom I will see for myself,

and whom my eyes will see and not a stranger.

My heart faints within me.

KJV 1900King James Version

For I know that my redeemer liveth,

And that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

And though after my skin worms destroy this body,

Yet in my flesh shall I see God:

Whom I shall see for myself,

And mine eyes shall behold, and not another;

Though my reins be consumed within me.
