Will you perform miracles for those who are dead? Will the spirits of the dead rise and give thanks to you? Selah
Those who are dead do not praise the Lord, nor do those who go into the silence ⌞of the grave⌟.
I will not die, but I will live and tell what the Lord has done.
I stretch out my hands to you in prayer. Like parched land, my soul thirsts for you. Selah
“How will you profit if my blood is shed, if I go into the pit? Will the dust ⌞of my body⌟ give thanks to you? Will it tell about your truth?”
In death, no one remembers you. In the grave, who praises you?
Have pity on me, O Lord, because I call out to you all day long.
Your dead will live. Their corpses will rise. Those who lie dead in the dust will wake up and shout for joy, because your dew is a refreshing dew, and the earth will revive the spirits of the dead.
