8. I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:
9. What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10. Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper.
11. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12. That my glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God I will praise thee for ever.
