Isaiah 38:16 in Context — Isaiah 38

14 Je poussais des cris comme une hirondelle en voltigeant, Je gémissais comme la colombe; Mes yeux s’élevaient languissants vers le ciel: O Éternel! Je suis dans l’angoisse, secours-moi!

15 Que dirai-je? Il m’a répondu, et il m’a exaucé. Je marcherai humblement jusqu’au terme de mes années, Après avoir été ainsi affligé.

16 Seigneur, c’est par tes bontés qu’on jouit de la vie, C’est par elles que je respire encore; Tu me rétablis, tu me rends à la vie.

17 Voici, mes souffrances mêmes sont devenues mon salut; Tu as pris plaisir à retirer mon âme de la fosse du néant, Car tu as jeté derrière toi tous mes péchés.

18 Ce n’est pas le séjour des morts qui te loue, Ce n’est pas la mort qui te célèbre; Ceux qui sont descendus dans la fosse n’espèrent plus en ta fidélité.
