“What gain is there in my blood, in my going down to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?
A psalm of David. Hear my prayer, Adonai, give ear to my petitions. In Your faithfulness and Your righteousness, answer me!
Hear, Adonai, when I call with my voice, be gracious to me and answer me.
Adonai is my strength and my shield. My heart trusts in Him, and I was helped. Therefore my heart leaps for joy, and I will praise Him with my song.
O God, hear my prayer, listen to the words of my mouth.
For there is no memory of You in death, in Sheol who will praise You?
