In context
14As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me,
15and removed the sorrow of my soul.
— Isaiah 38:16 —
17For thou hast chosen my soul, that it should not perish: and thou hast cast all my sins behind me.
18For they that are in the grave shall not praise thee, neither shall the dead bless thee, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for thy mercy.
