Isaiah 38:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ It was for my own ·good [welfare; peace; ^CHebrew shalom]
    that I had such ·troubles [anguish; bitterness].
Because you love me very much,
    you ·did not let me die [delivered my soul from the pit of destruction/corruption]
but threw my sins
    ·far away [^Lbehind your back].
¹⁸ ·People in the place of the dead [or For the grave; ^LFor Sheol] cannot ·praise [thank] you;
    ·those who have died [^Ldeath] cannot ·sing praises [praise] to you;
those who ·die [^Lgo down to the pit] ·don’t trust you
    to help them [^Lcannot hope for your faithfulness].
¹⁹ ·The people who are alive [^LThe living, the living] are the ones who ·praise [thank] you.
    They praise you as I praise you today.
A father should tell his children
    ·that you provide help [^Labout your faithfulness].
