8. I called to you, Lord,and asked you to have mercy on me.
9. I said, “What good will it do if I dieor if I go down to the grave?Dust cannot praise you;it cannot speak about your truth.
10. Lord, hear me and have mercy on me.Lord, help me.”
11. You changed my sorrow into dancing.You took away my clothes of sadness,and clothed me in happiness.
