Hope and joy returned with restored health, and we see (vers. 16-20) what Hezekiah brought back with him from his fight with death —

1. A new peace.

2. Forgiveness.

3. A new sense of the dignity of life, and of the encompassing eternal realities.

4. A joyful sense of God's personal love for him.

(E. W. Shalders, B. A.)

KJV: 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.

WEB: Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them: you restore me, and cause me to live.
