¹⁷ The dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

¹⁷ Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

¹⁰ Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are decreased arise and praise thee? Selah

¹¹ Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?

¹² Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

⁹ He will keep the feet of his holy ones; But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail.

⁹ What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

¹⁸ For Sheol cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: They that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

¹⁹ The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known thy truth.
