Isaiah 38:17-19
21st Century King James Version
17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness; but Thou hast in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption, for Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back.
18 For the grave cannot praise Thee, death can not celebrate Thee; they that go down into the pit cannot hope for Thy truth.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise Thee, as I do this day; the father to the children shall make known Thy truth.

Isaiah 38:17-19
New International Version
17 Surely it was for my benefit(A)
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)
18 For the grave(F) cannot praise you,
death cannot sing your praise;(G)
those who go down to the pit(H)
cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living—they praise(I) you,
as I am doing today;
parents tell their children(J)
about your faithfulness.
