Yeshayah 38:18-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ For Sheol cannot thank Thee, mavet can not praise Thee; they that go down into the bor (pit) cannot hope for Thy emes.

¹⁹ The living, the living, he shall thank Thee, as I do today; av to banim shall make known Thy emes.

²⁰ Hashem will save me; therefore we will sing with stringed instruments kol yemei chayyeinu (all the days of our life) in the Beis Hashem.
