Isaiah 38:16-20 O LORD, men may live beyond their years, and I will declare to all men that even in those years, it was thou that causedest me to sleep, and again thou hast given me life.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ O LORD, men may live beyond their years, and I will declare to all men that even in those years, it was thou that causedest me to sleep, and again thou hast given me life. ¹⁷ Behold, bitter as gall was my pensiveness: so sore longed I for health. And it was thy pleasure to deliver me from the filthy pit: for thou it is, O Lord, that hath cast all my sins behind thy back. ¹⁸ For hell praiseth not thee, death doth not magnify thee. They that go down into the grave, praise not thy truth: ¹⁹ but the living, yea the living acknowledge thee, like as I do this day. The father telleth his children of thy faithfulness. ²⁰ Deliver us, O LORD, and we will sing praises in thy house, all the days of our life."
