Psalms 30:8-10 in English

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.

⁸ I will exult and be glad in thy mercy: for thou hast looked upon mine affliction; thou hast saved my soul from distresses.

⁹ And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a wide place.

¹⁰ Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and my belly.

⁸ I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD 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?

⁸ I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD 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 LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

⁸ And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.

⁹ Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.

¹⁰ For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.

⁸ I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD 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 LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

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!”

⁸ And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.

⁹ Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.

¹⁰ For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.

⁸ My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.

⁹ What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?

¹⁰ Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.
