23  If there be for him ⁿan angel,

^oa mediator, ^pone of the thousand,

to declare to man what is ^qright for him,

24  and he is merciful to him, and says,

‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;

I have found ^ra ransom;

25  let his flesh ^sbecome fresh with youth;

let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;

26  then man^{1 t}prays to God, and he accepts him;

he ^usees his face with a shout of joy,

and he ^vrestores to man his righteousness.

27  He sings before men and says:

‘I ^wsinned and perverted what was right,

and it was not repaid to me.

28  He has redeemed my ^xsoul from going down ^yinto the pit,

and my life shall ^zlook upon the light.’
