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?

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

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?

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

¹⁸ But we will bless Yah, From this time forth and forevermore. Praise Yah!

¹⁷ I will not die, but live, And declare Yah's works.

¹⁰ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

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.
