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 memory of You; in the grave who shall give You thanks?

For will You do wonders to the dead? Shall the dead rise and praise You? Selah.

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

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

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave where you go.

For the grave cannot praise You, death can not rejoice in You; they who go down into the pit cannot hope for Your truth.

Then they cry to Jehovah in their distress, and He saves them out of their troubles.

Blessed are they that mourn! For they shall be comforted.
