He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul. 16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so You will restore me, and make me live. 17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but in love for my soul, You have delivered it from the pit of corruption: for You have cast all my sins behind Your back. 18 For Sheol cannot praise You, death cannot celebrate You: those who go down into the pit cannot hope for Your truth. 19 The living, the living, he shall praise You, as I do this day: the father shall make known Your truth to the children. 20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. 21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and apply it like a plaster on the boil, and he shall recover. 22 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?
