Isaiah 38:15-19
15
What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.
16
Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them: you restore me, and cause me to live.
17
Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
18
For Sheol can't praise you. Death can't celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can't hope for your truth.
19
The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day. The father shall make known your truth to the children.
