For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give you thanks?

Will you show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise you? Selah.

Shall your wonders be known in the dark? and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where you go.

For the grave cannot praise you, death can not celebrate you: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth.
