|
7. LORD H3068 , by thy favor H7522 thou hast made my mountain H2042 to stand H5975 strong H5797 : thou didst hide H5641 thy face H6440 , and I was H1961 troubled H926 .
|
|
8. So, Lord, I turned and prayed to you. I asked you to show me mercy.
|
8. I cried H7121 to H413 thee , O LORD H3068 ; and unto H413 the LORD H136 I made supplication H2603 .

|
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.
|
9. What H4100 profit H1215 is there in my blood H1818 , when I go down H3381 to H413 the pit H7845 ? Shall the dust H6083 praise H3034 thee? shall it declare H5046 thy truth H571 ?
|

|

|
12. To the end that H4616 my glory H3519 may sing praise H2167 to thee , and not H3808 be silent H1826 . O LORD H3068 my God H430 , I will give thanks H3034 unto thee forever H5769 .
