hezekiah » King of judah » His psalm of thanksgiving
A writing of Hezekiah, king of Judah, when he was sick and had recovered from his sickness: I was the one who said, "I must go in the quiet of my days; I am summoned through the gates of Sheol [for] the rest of my years." I said, "I shall not see Yah! Yah in the land of the living! I shall no more look at humankind among [the] inhabitants of [the] world. read more.
My dwelling place is pulled up and removed from me like the tent of my shepherd; I have rolled up my life like weaver. He cuts me off from [the] thrum; from day to night you bring me to an end. I lie down until morning; like lion, so he breaks all my bones; from day to night you bring me to an end. Like a horse or a crane, so I chirp; I moan like dove. My eyes are weak toward the height. Lord, I have oppression; lend me support! What can I say? For he has spoken to me, and he himself has done [it]. I will walk slowly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul. Lord, they live by them, and the life of my spirit belongs to all among them. And restore me to health and keep me alive! Look! Bitterness was bitter to me for peace. And you were the one who loved my life from [the] pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back. For Sheol cannot praise you; death [cannot] praise you. Those who go down [to the] pit cannot hope for your faithfulness. [The] living, [the] living one praises you like me today; a father will make your faithfulness known to children. Yahweh, save me, and we will play my music [on] stringed instruments all the days of our lives at the temple of Yahweh." And Isaiah said, "Let them {take} a lump of figs, and let them rub [it] on the boil {so that} he may recover." And Hezekiah said, "What [is the] sign that I shall go up [to] the temple of Yahweh?"

And he humbled you and let you go hungry, and [then] he fed you with that which you did not know nor did your ancestors know, in order to make you know that not by bread alone but by all [that] goes out of the mouth of Yahweh humankind shall live.
But he answered [and] said, "It is written, 'Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God."

In you, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge. Let me not be put to shame ever. Deliver me by your righteousness. Incline your ear to me. Quickly deliver me. Become my rock of refuge, {a fortified keep} to save me. For you [are] my rock and my fortress. So, for the sake of your name, lead me and guide me. read more.
