8. To you, O Yahweh, I called, and to the Lord I pleaded for grace saying,
9. “What gain is there in my death, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10. “O Yahweh, hear and be gracious to me. O Yahweh, be my helper.”
11. You have turned my wailing into my dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy
12. so that I may sing praises to you and not be quiet. O Yahweh, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
