Isaiah 38:16-19
New International Version
16 Lord, by such things people live;
and my spirit finds life in them too.
You restored me to health
and let me live.(A)
17 Surely it was for my benefit(B)
that I suffered such anguish.(C)
In your love you kept me
from the pit(D) of destruction;
you have put all my sins(E)
behind your back.(F)
18 For the grave(G) cannot praise you,
death cannot sing your praise;(H)
those who go down to the pit(I)
cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living—they praise(J) you,
as I am doing today;
parents tell their children(K)
about your faithfulness.
Isaiah 38:16-19
King James Version
16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
