¹ Lord, I call to You;
my rock, do not be deaf to me.^(A)
If You remain silent to me,
I will be like those going down to the Pit.^(B)

¹⁸ For Sheol cannot thank You;
Death cannot praise You.^(A)
Those who go down to the Pit
cannot hope for Your faithfulness.

⁸ They will bring you down to the Pit,^(A)
and you will die a violent death
in the heart of the sea.
