5  For in ^cdeath there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol who will give you praise?

15  As for me, I shall ^cbehold your face in righteousness;

when I ^dawake, I shall be ^esatisfied with your likeness.

9  “What profit is there in my death,¹

if I go down to the pit?²

Will ^kthe dust praise you?

Will it tell of your faithfulness?

15  But God will ^fransom my soul from the power of Sheol,

for he will ^greceive me. Selah

13  ^dFor great is your steadfast love toward me;

you have ^edelivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

10  Do you work wonders for the dead?

^uDo the departed rise up to praise you? Selah

11  Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,

or your faithfulness in Abaddon?

12  Are your ^vwonders known in ^wthe darkness,

or your righteousness in the land of ^xforgetfulness?

17  ^uThe dead do not praise the Lord,

nor do any who go down into ^vsilence.

3  ^bThe snares of death encompassed me;

the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;

I suffered distress and anguish.
