Isaiah 38:11

I said, “I will not see the Lord,
The Lord in the land of the living;
I will look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

“How much less when you say you do not behold Him,
The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!

Return, O Lord, rescue my soul;
Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

As for me, I said in my alarm,
“I am cut off from before Your eyes”;
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried to You.

For You have rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
My feet from stumbling.

For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten.

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.

“How much less when you say you do not behold Him,
The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!

Return, O Lord, rescue my soul;
Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living.

As for me, I said in my alarm,
“I am cut off from before Your eyes”;
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried to You.

For You have rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
My feet from stumbling.

For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten.
