Psalm 30:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ I called to you, Lord.
    I asked you to have mercy on me.
⁹ I said, “What good will it do if I die
    or if I go down to the grave?
Dust cannot praise you.
    It cannot speak about your truth.
¹⁰ Lord, hear me and be merciful to me.
    Lord, help me.”
