English Standard Version

My eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!

Psalm 141:8

Job said:

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.

Job 19:25-26

Psalm 141 (English Standard Version)

5 Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;
let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it.
Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
6 When their judges are thrown over the cliff,
then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7 As when one plows and breaks up the earth,
so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8 But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;
in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
9 Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me
and from the snares of evildoers!
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I pass by safely.

Job 19 (English Standard Version)

22 Why do you, like God, pursue me?
Why are you not satisfied with my flesh?
23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 Oh that with an iron pen and lead
they were engraved in the rock forever!
25 For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in my flesh I shall see God,
27 whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!
28 If you say, ‘How we will pursue him!’
and, ‘The root of the matter is found in him,’
29 be afraid of the sword,
for wrath brings the punishment of the sword,
that you may know there is a judgment.”

I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!

Psalm 141:8

Job said:

I know my Redeemer is alive, and that he shall finally take the stand for me on the earth. Even though my skin is destroyed, in my body I shall see God.

Job 19:25-26

Psalm 141 (Free Bible Version)

5 Let a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil.
6 They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true!
7 Just as the earth is broken up by the plough, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8 But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!
9 Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people.
10 Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.

Job 19 (Free Bible Version)

22 Why are you persecuting me like God does? Aren't you satisfied with getting your pound of flesh?
23 I wish my words could be written down, recorded in a book,
24 or engraved with an iron pen and molten lead in the rock forever.
25 I know my Redeemer is alive, and that he shall finally take the stand for me on the earth.
26 Even though my skin is destroyed, in my body I shall see God.
27 I myself will see him—with my own eyes, and not those of someone else! The thought overcomes me!
28 You say to yourselves, ‘How can we make him suffer so he can see he is the source of his problems?’
29 You yourselves should fear being punished by God, for you know anger brings God's punishment that accompanies judgment.”
