Psalm 30:7-9

American Standard Version

⁷ Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong:
Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.
⁸ I cried to thee, O Jehovah;
And unto Jehovah I made supplication:
⁹ What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
