“What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty?

For your loyal love extends beyond the sky, and your faithfulness reaches the clouds.

I will express my thanks to you with a stringed instrument, praising your faithfulness, O my God! I will sing praises to you accompanied by a harp, O Holy One of Israel!

Turn toward me and have mercy on me! Give your servant your strength! Deliver your slave!

For your loyal love extends beyond the sky, and your faithfulness reaches the clouds.

Yes, Lord! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us! But to your name bring honor, for the sake of your loyal love and faithfulness.

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, because of your loyal love and faithfulness, for you have exalted your promise above the entire sky.
