Isaiah 38:19 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known your truth. I. THE WORSHIPPER. "The living." II. THE OBJECT AND NATURE OF THE PRAISE RENDERED. The prolongation of life is a legitimate cause for Christian thanksgiving. It is only in our state as "the living" that we have an opportunity of uttering that which we may term practical and generative praise — a praise which induces others to join us in our work — a praise which begets praise, and tends to propagate itself, by God's blessing, throughout the length and breadth of an ungrateful world. It is evident that Hezekiah referred to such praise as this; for he says, "The father to the children shall make known Thy truth." (D. F. Jarman, B. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. |
