7You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8I cried to you, Yahweh. I made supplication to the Lord:
9“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”
