以賽亞書 38:15-16 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 38:9-22

We have here Hezekiah's thanksgiving-song, which he penned, by divine direction, after his recovery. He might have taken some of the psalms of his father David, and made use of them for his purpose; he might have found many very pertinent ones. He appointed the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, 2 Chron. 29:30. But the occasion here was extraordinary, and, his heart being full of devout affections, he would not confine himself to the compositions he had, though of divine... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:15

What shall I say ?.... In a way of praise and thankfulness, for the mercies promised and received; I know not what to say; I want words to express the gratitude of my heart for the kindness bestowed. What shall I render to God for all his benefits? So the Targum, "what praise shall I utter, and I will say it before him?' for here begins the account of his recovery, and his thanksgiving for it: he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it ; the Lord had sent him a message by... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 38:16

O Lord, by these things men live ,.... Not by bread only, but by the word of God: by the promise of God, and by his power performing it; and by his favour and goodness continually bestowed; it is in him, and by his power and providence, that they live and move, and have their being, and the continuance of it; and it is his lovingkindness manifested to them that makes them live comfortably and go on cheerfully: and in all these things is the life of my spirit ; what kept his soul in life... read more

By these things men live "For this cause shall it be declared" - Περι αυτης γαρ ανηγγελη σοι, και εξηγειρας μου την πνοην , Sept. They read in their copies רוחי ותחיי לך יחוו עליה not very different from the present text, from which all the ancient Versions vary. They entirely omit two words, בהן ולכל ulecol bahen ; as to which there is some variation in the MSS. One MS. has ובכל ubechol , and in all; two others וכל vechol , and all, and ten MSS. have בהם bahem , in them,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 38:9-15

Health and sickness. This touching psalm of Hezekiah, written in the day of returning strength, when mental effort became possible and perhaps enjoyable to him, may teach us many things. I. THAT OUR HEALTH IS NOT IN OUR OWN HANDS . There is a distinct note of disappointment here. The king had evidently set his heart on a long life, and was hurt in his soul that his days were cut in twain. It seemed an abrupt, unnatural termination. He was deprived of that which he might... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 38:9-22

The song of Hezekiah. It is a song of peculiar sweetness—from a literary point of view, characterized by great elegance; from a spiritual point of view, unfolding some deepest elements of Hebrew and of human pathos. I. THE CONTEMPLATION OF DEATH . It was in middle life , in the "noon-tide of his days," that he had to face the dark gates of Sheol. "Midway in life, as to Dante, came his peril of death." It has been said that there is a peculiar melancholy in middle life.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 38:11-19

The great disclosure. "If a man die, shall he live again?" asks the anxious, hopeful, human spirit. This composition of Hezekiah either indicates or suggests— I. THE LIGHT WHICH THE HEBREW SAINTS POSSESSED . They believed that death did not terminate man's existence; that, after death, he dwelt in Sheol with the spirits of the departed, with "the inhabitants of the land of stillness;" in a region, deep, dark, shut up within impassable gates through which they that have... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 38:15

What shall I say? The strain is suddenly changed. Hezekiah's prayer has been answered, and he has received the answer ( Isaiah 38:5-8 ). He is "at a loss to express his wonder and his gratitude" (Cheyne); comp. 2 Samuel 7:20 . God has both spoken unto him— i.e; given him a promise of recovery—and also himself hath done it ; i.e. has performed his promise. Already he feels in himself the beginnings of amendment—he is conscious that the worst is past, and that the malady has taken a... read more
