Psalm 115:17

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

The dead, nor who to silence go, God's praise do not record.

See the chapter Copy

Because those that deceased are Of thee shall no remembrance have; And who is he that will to thee Give praises lying in the grave?

Let me not be asham'd, O Lord, for on thee call'd I have: Let wicked men be sham'd, let them be silent in the grave.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to pit? Shall unto thee the dust give praise? thy truth declare shall it?

I with my groaning weary am, I also all the night my bed Have caused for to swim; and I With tears my couch have watered.
