Psalm 30:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ I called to you, Lord;
    I begged for your help:
⁹ “What will you gain from my death?
    What profit from my going to the grave?
Are dead people able to praise you?
    Can they proclaim your unfailing goodness?
¹⁰ Hear me, Lord, and be merciful!
    Help me, Lord!”
