15 There's nothing I can say
    in answer to you,
since you are the one
    who has done this to me.[a]
My life has turned sour;
    I will limp until I die.

16 Your words and your deeds
bring life to everyone,
    including me.[b]
Please make me healthy
    and strong again.
17 It was for my own good
    that I had such hard times.
But your love protected me
    from doom in the deep pit,[c]
and you turned your eyes
    away from my sins.
