Psalms 30:9
King James Version
“What profit in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?”
Context
6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, I was troubled.
8I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9What profit in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12To the end that glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
