Isaiah 38:10-20

10I saidH559, In the noontide of my daysH3117 I shall go into the gatesH8179 of SheolH7585:I am deprived of the residue of my yearsH8141.11I saidH559, I shall not seeH7200 Jehovah, even Jehovah in the landH776 of the living:I shall behold manH120 no more with the inhabitantsH3427 of the world.12My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd’s tentH168:I have rolled up, like a weaverH707, my life; he will cutH1214 me off from the loom:From dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an end of me.13I quieted myself until morningH1242; as a lionH738, so he breaketh all my bonesH6106:From dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an end of me.14Like a swallowora craneH5693, soH3651 did I chatter;I did moanH1897 as a doveH3123; mine eyesH5869 fail with looking upward:O LordH136, I am oppressed, be thou my suretyH6148.15What shall I sayH559? he hath both spokenH1696 unto me, and himself hath done it:I shall go softly all my yearsH8141 because of the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.16O LordH136, by these things men liveH2421;And wholly therein is the lifeH2416 of my spiritH7307:Wherefore recover thou me, and make me to liveH2421.17Behold, it wasformypeaceH7965thatI had great bitternessH4751:But thou hast in love to my soulH5315 delivered it from the pitH7845 of corruption;For thou hast castH7993 all my sinsH2399 behind thy back.18For SheolH7585 cannot praiseH1984 thee, deathH4194 cannot celebrate thee:They that goH3381 down into the pitH953 cannot hope for thy truthH571.19The living, the living, he shall praiseH3034 thee, as I do this dayH3117:The fatherH1 to the children shall makeH3045 knownH3045 thy truthH571.20Jehovah isreadyto saveH3467 me:Therefore we will sing my songsH5058 with stringedH5058 instrumentsH5058All the daysH3117 of our life in the houseH1004 of Jehovah.
