Isaiah 38:14-19
141Like a swallowH5483, like a craneH5693, soH3651 I twitterH6850; I 2moanH1897 like a doveH3123; My 3eyesH5869 lookH1809 wistfullyH1809 to the heightsH4791; O LordH3068, I am oppressedH6234, be my 4securityH6148.
15“5WhatH4100 shall I sayH1696? 6For He has spokenH559 to me, and He HimselfH1931 has doneH6213 it; I will 7wanderH1718 about allH3605 my yearsH8141 becauseH5921 of the 8bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.16O LordH136, 9by these things men liveH2421, And in allH3605 these is the lifeH2425 of my spiritH7307; 1011O restoreH2492 me to healthH2492 and 12let me liveH2421!17LoH2009, for my own welfareH7965 I hadH4843 greatH4751 bitternessH4751; It is You who has 1314keptH2836 my soulH5315 from the pitH7845 of 15nothingnessH1097, For You have 16castH7993 allH3605 my sinsH2399 behindH310 Your backH1460.18For 17SheolH7585 cannotH3808 thankH3034 You, DeathH4194 cannot praiseH1984 You; Those who goH3381 downH3381 18to the pitH953 cannotH3808 hopeH7663 for Your faithfulnessH571.19It is the 19livingH2416 who giveH3034 thanksH3034 to You, as I do todayH3117; A 20fatherH1 tellsH3045 his sonsH1121 aboutH413 Your faithfulnessH571.
