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 the grave who will give thee thanks?

Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

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

Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, he saveth them out of their distresses.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
