Psalm 30:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Lord, I called out to you.
    I cried to you for mercy.
⁹ I said, “What good will come if I become silent in death?
    What good will come if I go down into the grave?
Can the dust of my dead body praise you?
    Can it tell how faithful you are?
¹⁰ Lord, hear me. Have mercy on me.
    Lord, help me.”
