Isaiah 38:18 in Context — Isaiah 38
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.
19 Le vivant, le vivant, c’est celui-là qui te loue, Comme moi aujourd’hui; Le père fait connaître à ses enfants ta fidélité.
20 L’Éternel m’a sauvé! Nous ferons résonner les cordes de nos instruments, Tous les jours de notre vie, Dans la maison de l’Éternel.
