Isaiah 38:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁸For Sheol cannot thank you,
    death cannot praise you;
those who go down to the Pit cannot hope
    for your faithfulness.
¹⁹The living, the living, they thank you,
    as I do this day;
fathers make known to children
    your faithfulness.

²⁰The Lord will save me,
and we will sing to stringed instruments^[a]
all the days of our lives,
at the house of the Lord.
