Psalm 30:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁸ To you, O Lord, I cried,
    and to the Lord I made supplication:
⁹ ‘What profit is there in my death,
    if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
    Will it tell of your faithfulness?
¹⁰ Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me!
    O Lord, be my helper!’
