Isaiah 38:16-20

16Lord, your discipline is good, for it leads to life and health. You restore my health and allow me to live!

17Yes, this anguish was good for me, for you have rescued me from death and forgiven all my sins.

18For the dead cannot praise you; they cannot raise their voices in praise. Those who go down to the grave can no longer hope in your faithfulness.

19Only the living can praise you as I do today. Each generation tells of your faithfulness to the next.

20Think of it—the Lord is ready to heal me! I will sing his praises with instruments every day of my life in the Temple of the Lord.
