To You, Adonai, I called, and to my Lord I made my plea:
I will not die, but live, and proclaim what Adonai has done!
Turn toward me, Adonai, deliver my soul! Save me—because of Your mercy.
I cried out to Him with my mouth, and exaltation was on my tongue.
Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your strength, for there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, where you are going.
For Sheol cannot thank You, death cannot praise You. Those who go down to the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.
