Isaiah 38:14-19

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.
