Isaiah 38:17-19
Good News Translation
17 My bitterness will turn into peace.
You save[a] my life from all danger;
You forgive all my sins.
18 (A)No one in the world of the dead can praise you;
The dead cannot trust in your faithfulness.
19 It is the living who praise you,
As I praise you now.
Parents tell their children how faithful you are.

that I suffered such anguish.(B)
In your love you kept me
from the pit(C) of destruction;
you have put all my sins(D)
behind your back.(E)

death cannot sing your praise;(G)

cannot hope for your faithfulness.

as I am doing today;
