“What gain is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Would dust praise You? Would it declare Your truth?
For in death there is no remembrance of You; Who gives You thanks in the grave?
“For the grave does not thank You, nor death praise You; those who go down to the pit do not watch for Your truth.
All that your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.
Let me not die, but live, And declare the works of Yah.
I called to Him with my mouth, And praise was in my tongue.
