Isaiah 38:16-20

16O sovereign master, your decrees can give men life; may years of life be restored to me. Restore my health and preserve my life.’

17“Look, the grief I experienced was for my benefit. You delivered me from the pit of oblivion. For you removed all my sins from your sight.

18Indeed Sheol does not give you thanks; death does not praise you. Those who descend into the pit do not anticipate your faithfulness.

19The living person, the living person, he gives you thanks, as I do today. A father tells his sons about your faithfulness.

20The Lord is about to deliver me, and we will celebrate with music for the rest of our lives in the Lord’s temple.”
