Isaiah 38:16-20

16O LordH136, by these things men liveH2421, and in all these things is the lifeH2416 of my spiritH7307: so wilt thou recoverH2492 me, and make me to liveH2421.

17Behold, for peaceH7965 I had great bitternessH4843H4751: but thou hast in loveH2836 to my soulH5315 delivered it from the pitH7845 of corruptionH1097: for thou hast castH7993 all my sinsH2399 behindH310 thy backH1460.12

18For the graveH7585 cannot praiseH3034 thee, deathH4194 can not celebrateH1984 thee: they that go downH3381 into the pitH953 cannot hopeH7663 for thy truthH571.

19The livingH2416, the livingH2416, he shall praiseH3034 thee, as I do this dayH3117: the fatherH1 to the childrenH1121 shall make knownH3045 thy truthH571.

20YhwhH3068 was ready to saveH3467 me: therefore we will sing my songsH5058 to the stringed instrumentsH5059 all the daysH3117 of our lifeH2416 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.
