This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_38:18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can [not] celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
Ver. 18. For the grave cannot praise thee,] i.e., Palam et cum aliis, openly and exemplarily. See Psa_6:5. {See Trapp on "Psa_6:5"} David desires to live for no other end, and so Hezekiah, than to be glorifying of God.
They that go down into the pit.] Of the grave; so of despair. It is a sin for any man to say, I am a reprobate, for it keeps him in sin, and cuts the sinews of endeavour.
