8I called to you, Lord;

I begged for your help:

9“What will you gain from my death?

What profit from my going to the grave?

Are dead people able to praise you?

Can they proclaim your unfailing goodness?

10Hear me, Lord, and be merciful!

Help me, Lord!”

11You have changed my sadness into a joyful dance;

you have taken away my sorrow

and surrounded me with joy.
