Give thanks whilst thou art living, whilst thou art alive and in health thou shalt give thanks, and shalt praise God, and shalt glory in his mercies.

Who in Sheol can glorify the Most High in place of the living who offer their praise?
Who will glorify the Most High in the netherworld in place of the living who give praise?
Who will sing praises to the Most High in Hades in place of the living who give thanks?
Who will sing praises to the Most High in Hades in place of the living who give thanks?
Who will sing praises to the Most High in Hades in place of the living who give thanks?
Who will sing praises to the Most High in Hades in place of the living who give thanks?
Who will sing praises to the Most High in Hades, as do those who are alive and give thanks?
Who will sing praises to the Most High in Hades, as do those who are alive and give thanks?
And know thou the rightfulnesses, and (the) dooms of God; and stand thou in the part of good purpose, and of prayer of (or to) the highest God. Go thou into the parts of the holy world, with men living [or with men alive], and giving acknowledging to God.
