Isaiah 38:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ Dead people in their graves cannot praise you.
    They cannot sing to thank you.
People who go down into the deep hole of death
    cannot trust you to help them.
¹⁹ It is those people who are alive that can thank you.
    And I am doing it today.
Fathers tell their children that they can trust you.
²⁰ The Lord will now save me from death.
We will sing to thank the Lord in his temple.
    We will sing with happy music every day of our lives.
