“The dead tremble – those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

For her house sinks down to death, and her paths lead to the place of the departed spirits.

But they do not realize that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave.

The one who wanders from the way of wisdom will end up in the company of the departed.

Do you accomplish amazing things for the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and give you thanks? (Selah)

Sheol below is stirred up about you, ready to meet you when you arrive. It rouses the spirits of the dead for you, all the former leaders of the earth; it makes all the former kings of the nations rise from their thrones.

The dead do not come back to life, the spirits of the dead do not rise. That is because you came in judgment and destroyed them, you wiped out all memory of them.

Your dead will come back to life; your corpses will rise up. Wake up and shout joyfully, you who live in the ground! For you will grow like plants drenched with the morning dew, and the earth will bring forth its dead spirits.
