Isaiah 38:18 in Context — Isaiah 38
16 Oh Señor, sobre ellos vivirán [tus piedades], y á todos [diré consistir] en ellas la vida de mi espíritu; pues tú me restablecerás, y me harás que viva.
17 He aquí amargura grande me [sobrevino] en la paz: mas á ti plugo librar mi vida del hoyo de corrupción: porque echaste tras tus espaldas todos mis pecados.
18 Porque el sepulcro no te celebrará, ni te alabará la muerte; ni los que descienden al hoyo esperarán tu verdad.
19 El que vive, el que vive, éste te confesará, como yo hoy: el padre hará notoria tu verdad á los hijos.
20 Jehová para salvarme; por tanto cantaremos nuestros salmos en la casa de Jehová todos los días de nuestra vida.
