¹⁷ The dead don't praise Yah, Neither any who go down into silence;

⁵ For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

¹⁷ Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.

¹⁰ Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? Selah.

¹¹ Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?

¹² Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your 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 destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

¹⁸ For Sheol can't praise you, death can't celebrate you: Those who go down into the pit can't hope for your truth.

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