"O Lord, your decrees can give men life; may years of life be restored to me. Restore my health and preserve my life.’"
— Isaiah 38:16, NET Bible
“O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.”
“O Lord, by these things men live; And wholly therein is the life of my spirit: Wherefore recover thou me, and make me to live. ”
“Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them: you restore me, and cause me to live.”
“O Lord, if man's life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live.”
“O Lord, for this cause I am waiting for you, give rest to my spirit: make me well again, and let me come back to life.”
“O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.”
I cry out until morning; like a lion he shatters all my bones; you turn day into night and end my life.
Like a swallow or a thrush I chirp, I coo like a dove; my eyes grow tired from looking up to the sky. O Lord, I am oppressed; help me!
What can I say? He has decreed and acted. I will walk slowly all my years because I am overcome with grief.
O Lord, your decrees can give men life; may years of life be restored to me. Restore my health and preserve my life.’
“Look, the grief I experienced was for my benefit. You delivered me from the Pit of oblivion. For you removed all my sins from your sight.
Indeed Sheol does not give you thanks; death does not praise you. Those who descend into the Pit do not anticipate your faithfulness.
The living person, the living person, he gives you thanks, as I do today. A father tells his sons about your faithfulness.
