LEB(i)
8 To you, O Yahweh, I called, and to the Lord I pleaded for grace saying,
9 "What gain is there in my ⌊death⌋,* in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 "O Yahweh, hear and be gracious to me. O Yahweh, be my helper."
11 You have turned my wailing into my dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy
12 so that ⌊I⌋* may sing praises to you and not be quiet. O Yahweh, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
