"What profit is there in my death,[4] if I go down to the pit?[5] Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?
For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise?
For Sheol does not thank you; death does not praise you; those who go down to the pit do not hope for your faithfulness.
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might,[2] for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the LORD.
I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on[1] my tongue.[2]
