Isaiah 38:15-20

38:15

What shall I say
<01696> (8762)_?

he hath both spoken
<0559> (8804)

unto me, and himself hath done
<06213> (8804)

[it]: I shall go softly
<01718> (8691)

all my years
<08141>

in the bitterness
<04751>

of my soul
<05315>_.

38:16

O Lord
<0136>_,

by these [things men] live
<02421> (8799)_,

and in all these [things is] the life
<02416>

of my spirit
<07307>_:

so wilt thou recover
<02492> (8686)

me, and make me to live
<02421> (8685)_.

38:17

Behold, for peace
<07965>

I had great bitterness
<04751> <04843> (8804)_:

but thou hast in love
<02836> (8804)

to my soul
<05315>

[delivered it] from the pit
<07845>

of corruption
<01097>_:

for thou hast cast
<07993> (8689)

all my sins
<02399>

behind
<0310>

thy back
<01460>_.

{for peace...: or, on my peace came great bitterness} {thou hast in...: Heb. thou hast loved my soul from the pit}

38:18

For the grave
<07585>

cannot praise
<03034> (8686)

thee, death
<04194>

can [not] celebrate
<01984> (8762)

thee: they that go down
<03381> (8802)

into the pit
<0953>

cannot hope
<07663> (8762)

for thy truth
<0571>_.

38:19

The living
<02416>_,

the living
<02416>_,

he shall praise
<03034> (8686)

thee, as I [do] this day
<03117>_:

the father
<01>

to the children
<01121>

shall make known
<03045> (8686)

thy truth
<0571>_.

38:20

The LORD
<03068>

[was ready] to save
<03467> (8687)

me: therefore we will sing my songs
<05058>

to the stringed instruments
<05059> (8762)

all the days
<03117>

of our life
<02416>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
