Psalm 30:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷But Lord, it was you who made my kingdom strong,
    because you are so kind.
But then you turned away from me,
    and I became very afraid.^[a]
⁸I called to you for help, Lord.
I asked you to be kind to me, my Lord.
⁹If I go down into the deep hole of death,
    that will not help you!
My dead body cannot praise you there!
    It cannot tell people to trust you!
