²O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

³O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

⁶As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

⁸I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication: ⁹What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

¹⁰Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.
