Isaiah 38:15-20

15What should I say? For He has spoken to me— He Himself has done it! I will wander about all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

16Adonai, by such things men live, and my spirit has life in them too. Restore me to health, and let me live!

17Behold, it was for my own shalom that I had great bitterness. You have loved my soul out of the Pit of destruction! For You have flung all my sins behind Your back.

18For Sheol cannot thank You, death cannot praise You. Those who go down to the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.

19The living, the living—they praise You— as I do today. A father makes Your faithfulness known to his children.

20Adonai will save me. So we will play my songs on stringed instruments all the days of our life in the House of Adonai.”
