Isaiah 38:16-20

“Lord, by these things people live, And in all these is the life of my spirit; Restore me to health and let me live!

“Behold, for my own welfare I had great bitterness; But You have kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, For You have hurled all my sins behind Your back.

“For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.

“It is the living who give thanks to You, as I do today; A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness.

“The Lord is certain to save me; So we will play my songs on stringed instruments All the days of our life at the house of the Lord.”
