Psalm 30:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷By your favor, Lord,
you established me as a strong mountain;
Then you hid your face,
and I was dismayed.

⁸I cried out to you, Lord,
    and I make supplication to the Lord:
⁹“What profit is there in my death^[a] if I go down to the Pit?^[b]
    Can dust worship you?
        Can it proclaim your faithfulness?”
