Isaiah 38:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ Look, my troubles are gone!
    I now have peace.
You love me very much.
    You did not let me rot in the grave.
You took my sins
    and threw them away.
¹⁸ The dead cannot praise you.
    People in Sheol cannot sing praises to you.
Those who have died and gone below
    are not trusting in your faithfulness.
¹⁹ People who are alive, people like me,
    are the ones who will praise you.
    Fathers should tell their children about how faithful you are.
