16 Lord, [men] live by these, || And by all in them [is] the life of my spirit, || And You save me, make me to also live,

17 Behold, He changed bitterness to peace for me, || And You have delighted in my soul without corruption, || For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

18 For Sheol does not confess You, || Death does not praise You, || Those going down to the pit do not hope for Your truth.

19 The living, the living, he confesses You,

20 Like myself today; A father makes known to [his] sons of Your faithfulness, || O YHWH—to save me: And we sing my songs all [the] days of our lives || In the house of YHWH.”

21 And Isaiah says, “Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he lives.”

22 And Hezekiah says, “What [is] the sign that I go up to the house of YHWH?”
