"Whatprofitis there in my blood,if I godownto the pit?Will the dustpraiseYou? Will it declareYour faithfulness?
I will not die,but live,And tellof the worksof the LORD.
For thereis nomentionof You in death;In Sheolwhowill giveYou thanks?
I criedto Him with my mouth,And He was extolledwith my tongue.
Whateveryour handfindsto do,do[it] with [all] your might;for thereis noactivityor planningor knowledgeor wisdomin Sheolwhereyou are going.
"For SheolcannotthankYou, Deathcannot praiseYou; Those who godownto the pitcannothopefor Your faithfulness.
