Isaiah 38

¹⁶ O Lord, by such things men live, and in all of them my spirit finds life. You have restored me to health and have let me live.

¹⁷ Surely for my own welfare I had such great anguish; but Your love has delivered me from the pit of oblivion, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

¹⁸ For Sheol cannot thank You; Death cannot praise You. Those who descend to the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.

¹⁹ The living, only the living, can thank You, as I do today; fathers will tell their children about Your faithfulness.

²⁰ The LORD will save me; we will play songs on stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the LORD.
