Isaiah:38:10-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I said in the cutting off of my days ,
I shall go to the gates of the grave :
I am deprived of the residue of my years .
*
I said ,
I shall not see the LORD ,
even the LORD ,
in the land of the living :
I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world .
*
Mine age is departed ,
and is removed from me as a shepherd '
s tent :
I have cut off like a weaver my life :
he will cut me off with pining sickness :
from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me .
*
I reckoned till morning ,
that ,
as a lion ,
so will he break all my bones :
from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me .
*
Like a crane or a swallow ,
so did I chatter :
I did mourn as a dove :
mine eyes fail with looking upward :
O LORD ,
I am oppressed ;
undertake for me .
*
What shall I say ?
he hath both spoken unto me ,
and himself hath done it :
I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul .
*
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 .
*
Behold ,
for peace I had great bitterness :
but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption :
for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back .
*
For the grave cannot praise thee ,
death can not celebrate thee :
they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth .
