16. Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit; and thou hast recovered me, and made me to live.
17. Behold, instead of peace I had bitterness upon bitterness; but thou hast in love delivered my soul from the pit of destruction; for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
18. For not Sheol shall praise thee, nor death celebrate thee; they that go down into the pit do not hope for thy truth.
19. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
