Psalm 30:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

For there is no remembrance of You in death;
who can thank You in Sheol?

Do You work wonders for the dead?
Do departed spirits rise up to praise You?Selah

It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
nor any of those descending into the silence of death.

I will not die, but I will live
and proclaim what the Lord has done.

Whatever your hands find to do, do with all your strength, because there is no work, planning, knowledge, or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.

For Sheol cannot thank You;
Death cannot praise You.
Those who go down to the Pit
cannot hope for Your faithfulness.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them from their distress.

Those who mourn are blessed,

for they will be comforted.
