New International Version Anglicized

Isaiah 38:15-20 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

15. But what can I say?He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.I will walk humbly all my yearsbecause of this anguish of my soul.

16. Lord, by such things people live;and my spirit finds life in them too.You restored me to healthand let me live.

17. Surely it was for my benefitthat I suffered such anguish.In your love you kept mefrom the pit of destruction;you have put all my sinsbehind your back.

18. For the grave cannot praise you,death cannot sing your praise;those who go down to the pitcannot hope for your faithfulness.

19. The living, the living – they praise you,as I am doing today;parents tell their childrenabout your faithfulness.

20. The Lord will save me,and we will sing with stringed instrumentsall the days of our livesin the temple of the Lord.
