Isaiah 38:16-18

New King James Version

¹⁶ O Lord, by these things men live;
And in all these things is the life of my spirit;
So You will restore me and make me live.
¹⁷ Indeed it was for my own peace
That I had great bitterness;
But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption,
For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
¹⁸ For ^(A)Sheol cannot thank You,
Death cannot praise You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth.
