15 (A)What shall I say?
[a]Indeed, He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done it;
I will (B)wander about all my years because of the (C)bitterness of my soul.
16 O Lord, (D)by these things men live,
And in all these is the life of my spirit;
[b](E)O restore me to health and (F)let me live!

17 Behold, for my own well-being I had great bitterness;
But it is You who has [c](G)held back my soul from the pit of [d]nothingness,
For You have (H)cast all my sins behind Your back.
