16O Lord, for this cause I am waiting for you, give rest to my spirit: make me well again, and let me come back to life.
17See, in place of peace my soul had bitter sorrow. but you have kept back my soul from the underworld; for you have put all my sins out of your memory.
18For the underworld is not able to give you praise, death gives you no honour: for those who go down into the underworld there is no hope in your mercy.
19The living, the living man, he will give you praise, as I do this day: the father will give the story of your mercy to his children.
20O Lord, quickly be my saviour; so we will make my songs to corded instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.
21And Isaiah said, Let them take a cake of figs, and put it on the diseased place, and he will get well.
22And Hezekiah said, What is the sign that I will go up to the house of the Lord?
