“What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
For in death there is no remembrance of You; in Sheol who will give You thanks?
I cried to Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.
Whatever your hands find to do, do with your strength; for there is no work 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 into the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.
