[16] 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. [17] 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. [18] For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. [19] The living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. [20] The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
