Psalm 30:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷By your favor, O Lord,
you had established me as a strong mountain;
you hid your face;
I was dismayed.^(A)

⁸To you, O Lord, I cried,
    and to the Lord I made supplication:
⁹“What profit is there in my death,
    if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
    Will it tell of your faithfulness?^(B)
