Isaiah 38:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 Peace in place of bitterness!
You have preserved my life
from the pit of destruction;
Behind your back
you cast all my sins.[a]
18 [b]For it is not Sheol that gives you thanks,
nor death that praises you;
Neither do those who go down into the pit
await your kindness.(A)
19 The living, the living give you thanks,
as I do today.
Parents declare to their children,
O God, your faithfulness.
Isaiah 38:17-19
New International Version
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.
