But my sins you let go of, threw them over your shoulder—good riddance! The dead don't thank you, and choirs don't sing praises from the morgue. Those buried six feet under don't witness to your faithful ways. It's the living—live men, live women—who thank you, just as I'm doing right now. Parents give their children full reports on your faithful ways.
"O Lord, by these things men live, And in all these is the life of my spirit; O restore me to health and let me live!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 were the same things, the promise, power, and providence of God; what revived his spirit, and made him comfortable and cheerful, was the wonderful love and great goodness of God unto him, in appearing to him, and for him, and delivering him out of his sore troubles. Ben Melech renders and gives the sense of the words thus; "to all will I declare and say, that in these", in the years of addition (the fifteen years added to his days) "are the life of my spirit"; so Kimchi. The Targum interprets it of the resurrection of the dead,
"O Lord, concerning all the dead, thou hast said, that thou wilt quicken them; and before them all thou hast quickened my spirit:''
so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live; or rather, "and" or "for thou hast recovered t me, and made me to live"; for the Lord had not only promised it, but he had done it, Isaiah 38:15, and so the Targum,
"and hast quickened me, and sustained me.''
t So Gataker.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
O Lord, by these things men live - The design of this and the following verses is evidently to set forth the goodness of God, and to celebrate his praise for what he had done. The phrase âthese things,â refers evidently to the promises of God and their fulfillment; and the idea is, that people are sustained in the land of the living only by such gracious interpositions as he had experienced. It was not because people had any power of preserving their own lives, but because God interposed in time of trouble, and restored to health when there was no human prospect that they could recover.
And in all these things - In these promises, and in the divine interposition.
Is the life of my spirit - I am alive in virtue only of these things.
So wilt thou recover me - Or so hast thou recovered me; that is, thou hast restored me to health.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 38:16. By these things men live - "For this cause shall it be declared"] ΠεÏι Î±Ï ÏÎ·Ï Î³Î±Ï Î±Î½Î·Î³Î³ÎµÎ»Î· Ïοι, και εξηγειÏÎ±Ï Î¼Î¿Ï Ïην Ïνοην, Sept. They read in their copies ×¢××× ×××× ×× ×ת××× ×¨××× not very different from the present text, from which all the ancient Versions vary. They entirely omit two words, ×××× ××× ulecol bahen; as to which there is some variation in the MSS. One MS. has ×××× ubechol, and in all; two others ××× vechol, and all, and ten MSS. have ××× bahem, in them, in the masculine gender.
Taking this as in the common Version, we may observe, it is not an unfrequent case, that afflictions, and especially such as tend to a speedy death, become the means, not only of saving the soul, but also of lengthening the life.
Make me to live - "Hast prolonged my life."] A MSS. and the Babylonish Talmud read ×ת××× × vetachayeni, and so the ancient Versions. It must necessarily be in the second person.
