| 9"What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your truth? | 9"What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty? |
| 10LORD, listen and be gracious to me; LORD, be my helper." | 10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me! O LORD, deliver me!" |
| 11You turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, | 11Then you turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and covered me with joy. |
| 12so that I can sing to you and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever. | 12So now my heart will sing to you and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will always give thanks to you. |
