16 Adonay, people live in spite of such things,
    and I have the will to live in spite of them.
        You give me health and keep me alive.
17 Now my bitter experience turns into peace.
    You have saved me and kept me from the rotting pit.
        You have thrown all my sins behind you.

    Death doesn’t praise you!
    Those who go down to the pit cannot expect you to be faithful.

16 Lord, by such things people live;

    and let me live.(A)
17 Surely it was for my benefit(B)
    that I suffered such anguish.(C)
In your love you kept me
    from the pit(D) of destruction;
you have put all my sins(E)
    behind your back.(F)
18 For the grave(G) cannot praise you,
    death cannot sing your praise;(H)
those who go down to the pit(I)
    cannot hope for your faithfulness.
