16 Lord, (A)by these things people live,
And in all these is the life of my spirit;
[a](B)Restore me to health and (C)let me live!
17 Behold, for my own welfare I had great bitterness;
But You have [b](D)kept my soul from the pit of [c]nothingness,
For You have (E)hurled all my sins behind Your back.
18 For (F)Sheol cannot thank You,
Death cannot praise You;
Those who go down (G)to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.
