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?

¹⁰ Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.

² Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help me when I was ill, and you healed me.

³ You saved/restored me when I was dying MTY. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again.

⁴ All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what God, the holy one, has done, and thank him!

⁵ When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time HYP, but he is good to us all of our life. We may cry during the night, but the next morning we will be joyful.

⁸ Then I called out to you, and I pleaded for you to help me.

⁹ I said, “Yahweh, ◄what will you gain if I die?/ you won't gain anything if I die►MTY. ◄In what way will it benefit you?/it won't benefit you at all► if I go to the place where the dead people are RHQ. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you RHQ, and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy RHQ!

¹⁰ Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”

¹¹ But now you have healed me, and you have caused me to change from being sad to dancing joyfully. You have taken away the clothes that showed that I was very sad and you have given me clothes that showed that I was very joyful.

¹² So I will not be silent; I will sing out loudly to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank you forever.
