Isaiah 38:15–20

15 But what can I say?p

He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.q

I will walk humblyr all my years

because of this anguish of my soul.s

16 Lord, by such things people live;

and my spirit finds life in them too.

You restored me to health

and let me live.t

17 Surely it was for my benefitu

that I suffered such anguish.v

In your love you kept me

from the pitw of destruction;

you have put all my sinsx

behind your back.y

18 For the gravez cannot praise you,

death cannot sing your praise;a

those who go down to the pitb

cannot hope for your faithfulness.

19 The living, the living—they praisec you,

as I am doing today;

parents tell their childrend

about your faithfulness.

20 The Lord will save me,

and we will singe with stringed instrumentsf

all the days of our livesg

in the templeh of the Lord.
