For in death there is no remembrance of You; Who gives You thanks in the grave?
The dead do not praise Yah, Nor any going down to silence.
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.
“What gain is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Would dust praise You? Would it declare Your truth?
Let me not die, but live, And declare the works of Yah.
“It is necessary for Me to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day – night is coming, when no one is able to work.
Return, O יהוה! How long? And be sorry for Your servants.
Then I called upon the Name of יהוה, “O יהוה, I pray to You, deliver my being!”
