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?

¹⁰ Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

¹⁷ The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.

¹⁸ For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
