Isaiah 38:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ What can I say?
    The Lord told me what would happen and then made it happen.
I have had these troubles in my soul,
    so now I will be humble all my life.
¹⁶ Lord, because of you, people live.
    Because of you, my spirit also lives;
you made me well and let me live.
¹⁷ It was for my own good
    that I had such troubles.
Because you love me very much,
    you did not let me die
but threw my sins
    far away.
