You restored me to health and let me live. 17 Indeed, it was for my peace that I had great bitterness; but You, in Your love, delivered my soul from the pit of destruction. You have cast all my sins behind Your back. 18 For Sheol cannot thank You, death cannot praise You. Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness. 19 The living, the living—they thank You, as I do today. Fathers make Your faithfulness known to their children. 20 The Lord will save me, and we will sing with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord. 21 Isaiah had said, "Prepare a lump of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover." 22 Hezekiah had asked, "What will be the sign that I will go up to the house of the Lord?"
