Isaiah 38:14-19

14Like a craneH5483 or a swallowH5693, so I chatteredH6850: I mournedH1897 as a doveH3123: my eyesH5869 failH1809 with looking upwardH4791: O LORDH3068, I am oppressedH6234; undertakeH6148 for me.1 15What shall I sayH1696? he hath both spokenH559 to me, and himself hath doneH6213 it : I shall go softlyH1718 all my yearsH8141 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315. 16O LordH136, by these things men liveH2421, and in all these things is the lifeH2416 of my spiritH7307: so wilt thou restoreH2492 me, and make me to liveH2421. 17Behold, for peaceH7965 I had great bitternessH4751H4843: but thou hast in loveH2836 to my soulH5315 delivered it from the pitH7845 of corruptionH1097: for thou hast castH7993 all my sinsH2399 behindH310 thy backH1460.23 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.
