Psalm 30:9

“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

For there is no mention of You in death;
In Sheol who will give You thanks?

Will You perform wonders for the dead?
Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.

The dead do not praise the Lord,
Nor do any who go down into silence;

I will not die, but live,
And tell of the works of the Lord.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or 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.

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 mention of You in death;
In Sheol who will give You thanks?

Will You perform wonders for the dead?
Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.

The dead do not praise the Lord,
Nor do any who go down into silence;

I will not die, but live,
And tell of the works of the Lord.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or 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 out of their distresses.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
