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 in death there is no remembrance of thee. In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

Will thou show wonders to the dead? Shall those who are deceased arise and praise thee? Selah.

The dead do not praise LORD, nor any who go down into silence,

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of LORD.

Whatever thy hand finds to do, do with thy might, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where thou go.

For Sheol cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee. Those who go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

Then they cry to LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses.

Blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.
