Psalm 30:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ So, Lord, I turned and prayed to you.
    I asked you, Lord, to show me mercy.
⁹ I said, “What good is it if I die
    and go down to the grave?
The dead just lie in the dirt.
    They cannot praise you.
    They cannot tell anyone how faithful you are.
¹⁰ Lord, hear my prayer, and be kind to me.
    Lord, help me!”
