Psalm 30:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Because it pleased you, Lord,
    you made me a strong mountain.
But then you hid your presence.
    I was terrified.
⁸ I cried out to you, Lord.
    I begged my Lord for mercy:
⁹ “What is to be gained by my spilled blood,
    by my going down into the pit?
Does dust thank you?
    Does it proclaim your faithfulness?
