Isaiah 38:16-20

16Lord, by such things people live; and my spirit finds life in them too. You restored me to health and let me live.

17Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back.

18For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.

19The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness.

20The Lord will save me, and we will sing with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the temple of the Lord.
