Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 38:11:

in this world.
There would be no day that I would still see people
in this world of life/living.β (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: βI will never see the LORD again,
I will not be able to see the LORD in the land of the living.
From now on I will not see people,
nor will I get to live with those who are now living in the world.β (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: βI thought I will- no-longer -see the LORD here in the world of the living-ones, or I will- no-longer -see the people in this world.β (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

in this world where people are alive.
I will not see my friends again,
or be with others who now are alive in this world.β (Source: Translation for Translators)
