For in death there is no memory of you. In She'ol, who shall give you thanks?
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In the grave who shall give thee thanks?
For in death there is no remembrance of You; in Sheol (the place of the dead) who will give You thanks?
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?
No one is going to praise you when they are dead. Who gives you thanks from the grave?
Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.
Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy's sake.
The dead don't praise the LORD, neither any who go down into silence;
Then called I on the name of the LORD: *The LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.*
I will not die, but live, and declare the LORD's works.
*What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
Relent, LORD! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in She'ol, where you are going.
I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
