Isaiah 38:11

I said, I shall not see the LORD, the LORDin the land of the living; I shall look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!

How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!

Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

I had said in my alarm, "I am cut off from your sight." But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help.

For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;

For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.
