Turn toward me, Adonai, deliver my soul! Save me—because of Your mercy.
The dead do not praise Adonai, nor do any who go down into silence.
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.
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!
We must do the work of the One who sent Me, so long as it is day! Night is coming when no one can work.
Relent, Adonai! How long? Have compassion on Your servants.
Then I called upon the Name of Adonai: “Adonai, save my soul!”
