Isaiah 38:17-19
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 38:17-19
Contemporary English Version
17 It was for my own good
that I had such hard times.
But your love protected me
from doom in the deep pit,[a]
and you turned your eyes
away from my sins.
18 (A) No one in the world of the dead
can thank you or praise you;
none of those in the deep pit
can hope for you
to show them
how faithful you are.
19 Only the living can thank you,
as I am doing today.
Each generation tells the next
about your faithfulness.[b]
