Psalm 6:5

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who can give thee praise?

See the chapter Copy

The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any that go down into silence.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

“What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise thee? Will it tell of thy faithfulness?

I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord.

We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day; night comes, when no one can work.

Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on thy servants!

Then I called on the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I beseech thee, save my life!”
