16
Lord, because of these [promises] people live, and in all of them is the life of my spirit as well; You have restored me to health and let me live.
17
Indeed, it was for [my own] welfare that I had such great bitterness; but Your love [has delivered] me from the Pit of destruction, for You have thrown 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, only the living can thank You, as I do today; a father will make Your faithfulness known to children.
20
The Lord will save me; we will play stringed instruments all the days of our lives at the house of the Lord.
