Turn toward me, Adonai, deliver my soul! Save me—because of Your mercy.
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 do not praise Adonai, nor do any who go down into silence.
Then I called upon the Name of Adonai: “Adonai, save my soul!”
I will not die, but live, and proclaim what Adonai has done!
To You, Adonai, I called, and to my Lord I made my plea:
Relent, Adonai! How long? Have compassion on Your servants.
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.
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.
