A Vow of Humble Gratitude
Most commentators see this verse as an expression of overwhelming gratitude. Hezekiah is speechless at his sudden recovery. His vow to 'go softly all my years' is not about sadness, but a promise to live humbly, thoughtfully, and submissively, always remembering the bitterness of his near-death experience and the greatness of God's mercy that saved him from it.
