Isaiah 38:15-19

English Standard Version

¹⁵What shall I say? For he has spoken to me,
and he himself has done it.
^(A)I walk slowly all my years
because of the bitterness of my soul.

¹⁶^(B)O Lord, by these things men live,
    and in all these is the life of my spirit.
    Oh restore me to health and make me live!
¹⁷^(C)Behold, it was for my welfare
    that I had great bitterness;
^(D)but in love you have delivered my life
    from the pit of destruction,
^(E)for you have cast all my sins
    behind your back.
¹⁸^(F)For Sheol does not thank you;
    death does not praise you;
those who go down to the pit do not hope
    for your faithfulness.
¹⁹The living, the living, he thanks you,
    as I do this day;
^(G)the father makes known to the children
    your faithfulness.
