23†Oh that my words were now written!
Oh that they bwere printed in a cbook!
24That they were graven dwith an iron pen and lead
In the rock efor ever!
25For fI know that my gredeemer liveth,
And that he shall stand at hthe latter day iupon the earth:
26||And though after my skin worms kdestroy this body,
Yet lin my flesh shall I see God:
27Whom I shall see mfor myself,
And mine eyes shall behold, and not †another;

“Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
Oh that with an iron pen and lead
they were engraved in the rock forever!
For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in my flesh I shall see God,
whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!

NIVNew International Version (2011)
“Oh, that my words were recorded,
that they were written on a scroll,
that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead,
or engraved in rock forever!
I know that my redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God;
I myself will see him
with my own eyes—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!

CSBChristian Standard Bible
I wish that my words were written down,
that they were recorded on a scroll
or were inscribed in stone forever
by an iron stylus and lead!
But I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the end he will stand on the dust.
Even after my skin has been destroyed,
yet I will see God in my flesh.
I will see him myself;
my eyes will look at him, and not as a stranger.
My heart longs within me.

NLTNew Living Translation
“Oh, that my words could be recorded.
Oh, that they could be inscribed on a monument,
carved with an iron chisel and filled with lead,
engraved forever in the rock.
“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and he will stand upon the earth at last.
And after my body has decayed,
yet in my body I will see God!
I will see him for myself.
Yes, I will see him with my own eyes.
I am overwhelmed at the thought!

“O that my words could be written down!
O that they could be inscribed in a scroll!
That with a pen of iron and with lead
they might be engraved on a rock forever!
But I myself know that my redeemer is alive,
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.
