18 For Sheol cannot thank thee,
    death cannot praise thee;
those who go down to the pit cannot hope
    for thy faithfulness.
19 The living, the living, he thanks thee,
    as I do this day;
the father makes known to the children
    thy faithfulness.

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