Hezekiah continues his written prayer.

For Sheol does not thank you; death does not praise you

Here "Sheol" and "death" refer to "dead people." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

Those who go down into the pit

"Those who go to Sheol" or "Those who go down to the grave"

do not hope in your trustworthiness

"do not have hope in your faithfulness." Here "your" is singular and refers to Yahweh. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you)

The living person, the living person

This is repeated for emphasis. (rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
