- "For you would forget your trouble, As waters that have passed by, you would remember it.
- "Your life would be brighter than noonday; Darkness would be like the morning.
- "Then you would trust, because there is hope; And you would look around and rest securely.
- "You would lie down and none would disturb you, And many would entreat your favor.
- "But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And there will be no escape for them; And their hope is to breathe their last."

- Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
- And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
- And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
- Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
- But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
