Contextual Overview

⁹ After Hezekiah king of Judah got well, he wrote this song: ¹⁰ I said, "I am in the middle of my life. Do I have to go through the gates of death? Will I have the rest of my life taken away from me?" ¹¹ I said, "I will not see the Lord in the land of the living again. I will not again see the people who live on the earth. ¹² Like a shepherd's tent, my home has been pulled down and taken from me. I am finished like the cloth a weaver rolls up and cuts from the loom. In one day you brought me to this end. ¹³ All night I cried loudly. Like a lion, he crushed all my bones. In one day you brought me to this end. ¹⁴ I cried like a bird and moaned like a dove. My eyes became tired as I looked to the heavens. Lord, I have troubles. Please help me." ¹⁵ What can I say? The Lord told me what would happen and then made it happen. I have had these troubles in my soul, so now I will be humble all my life. ¹⁶ Lord, because of you, people live. Because of you, my spirit also lives; you made me well and let me live. ¹⁷ It was for my own good that I had such troubles. Because you love me very much, you did not let me die but threw my sins far away. ¹⁸ People in the place of the dead cannot praise you; those who have died cannot sing praises to you; those who die don't trust you to help them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The Lord was ready to save me,.... Or, "the Lord to save me y"; he was at hand to save him; he was both able and willing to save him; he was a present help in time of need; he arose for his help, and that right early; he very quickly delivered him out of his distress; he, who one day expected death every moment, was the next day in the temple praising God:

therefore will we sing my songs; which were made by him, or concerning him, or which he ordered to be sung, as he did the Psalms of David,

2 Chronicles 29:30:

to the stringed instruments: which were touched with the fingers, or struck with a quill or bow; which distinguishes them from wind instruments, which were blown with the mouth; each of these were used in the temple service:

all the days of our life; he had before said "we will sing", meaning his family and his friends with him, his courtiers, princes, and nobles, or he and the singers of Israel; and this he determined to do as long as he and they lived; signifying, that the mercy granted would never be forgotten by him, as well as there would be new mercies every day, which would call for praise and thankfulness: and this he proposed to do

in the house of the Lord; in the temple; not only privately, but publicly; not in his closet and family only, but in the congregation of the people; that the goodness of God to him might be more known, and the praise and glory given him be the greater.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Lord was ready to save me - He was prompt, quick to save me. He did not hesitate or delay.

Therefore we will sing my songs - That is, my family and nation. The song of Hezekiah was designed evidently not as a mere record, but to be used in celebrating the praises of God, and probably in a public manner in the temple. The restoration of the monarch was a fit occasion for public rejoicing; and it is probable that this ode was composed to be used by the company of singers that were employed constantly in the temple.

To the stringed instruments - We will set it to music, and will use it publicly (see the notes at Isaiah 5:12).
