Isaiah 38:17

Lo! for well-being, I had bitterness—bitterness,—But, thou, cleaving unto my soul, hast raised me from the pit of corruption, For thou hast cast, behind thy back all my sins.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

In Context

16O My Lord! on those things do men live,—And, altogether in them, is the life of my spirit, When thou hast strengthened me and made me live.

18For, hades, cannot praise thee Nor, death, celebrate thee,—They who go down to the pit cannot wait for thy faithfulness.
