Isaiah 38:18-20

Amplified Bible

¹⁸ 
“For Sheol cannot praise or thank You,
Death cannot praise You and rejoice in You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.
¹⁹ 
“It is the living who give praise and thanks to You, as I do today;
A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness.
²⁰ 
“The Lord is ready to save me;
Therefore we will play my songs on stringed instruments
All the days of our lives at the house of the Lord.”
