8Then I called out to you, and I pleaded for you to help me.
9I 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!
10Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”
