“I shall not see1 Yah,
The Lord ain the land of the living;
I shall observe man no more1 among the inhabitants of the world.
Taken from me like a shepherd’s tent;
I have cut off my life like a weaver.
He cuts me off from the loom;
From day until night You make an end of me.
Like a lion,
So He breaks all my bones;
From day until night You make an end of me.
aI mourned like a dove;
My eyes fail from looking upward.
O Lord, I am oppressed;
1Undertake for me!
1He has both spoken to me,
And He Himself has done it.
I shall walk carefully all my years
aIn the bitterness of my soul.
And in all these things is the life of my spirit;
So You will restore me and make me live.
That I had great bitterness;
But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption,
For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
Death cannot praise You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth.
| << Isaiah 38:12 | Isaiah 38:14 >> |
