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?
The dead, nor who to silence go, God's praise do not record.
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 shall not die, but live, and shall the works of God discover.
Turn yet again to us, O Lord, how long thus shall it be? Let it repent thee now for those that servants are to thee.
Upon the name of God the Lord then did I call, and say, Deliver thou my soul, O Lord, I do thee humbly pray.
