Sickness and death

Ps 102 Psalm 102:19 & 20 "Tell them the Lord looked down from his sanctuary. He looked to the earth from heaven to hear the groans of the prisoners, to release those condemned to die." ....vs 24 "But I cried to him, "My God, who lives forever, don't take my life while I am still so young!"

Isaiah 38:10-19 "I said, "in the prime of my life, must I now enter the place of the dead? Am I to be robbed of my normal years?" I said, "Never again will I see the Lord God, while still in the land of the living. Never again will I see my friends or laugh with those who live in this world. My life has been blown away like a shepherd's tent in a storm. It has been cut short, as when a weaver cuts cloth from a loom. Suddenly, my life was over. I waited patiently all night, but I was torn part as though by lions. Suddenly, my life was over. Delirious, I chattered like a swallow or a crane, and then I moaned like a mourning dove. My eyes grew tired of looking to heaven for help. I am in trouble, Lord. Help me! But what could I say? For he himself had sent this sickness. Now I will walk humbly throughout my years because of this anguish that I have felt. Lord, your discipline is good, for it leads to life and health. You have restored my health and have allowed me to live! Yes, it was good for me to suffer this anguish, for you have rescued me from death and have forgiven all my sins. For the dead cannot praise you; they cannot raise their voices in praise. Those who go down to destruction can no longer hope in your faithfulness. Only the living can praise you as I do today. Each generation can make known your faithfulness to the next. Think of it--the Lord has healed me! I will sing his praises with instruments every day of my life in the Temple of the Lord."
