Isaiah 38:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ For Sheol cannot give you thanks,
    nor can death praise you.
Those who go down into the pit
    cannot hope for your kindness.
¹⁹ It is the living, only the living, who can thank you
    as I am doing today,
just as fathers make known to their sons
    your faithfulness, O God.
²⁰ “The Lord is my savior,
    and we will sing to stringed instruments
all the days of our lives
    in the house of the Lord.”
