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 not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?

To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? Selah.

The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,

All that thy hand findeth to do, with thy power do, for there is no work, and device, and knowledge, and wisdom in Sheol whither thou art going.

For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not for Thy truth.

And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,

Happy the mourning -- because they shall be comforted.
