The dead cannot sing praises to the Lord, for they have gone into the silence of the grave.

死人不能赞美耶和华；下到寂静中的也都不能。

死人不能赞美耶和华，下到寂静中的也都不能。

死人不能赞美耶和华，下到寂静中的也都不能。

死人不能歌颂耶和华，下到坟墓的人不能赞美祂。

死人不能赞美耶和华，下到阴间的不能赞美他。

死人不能赞美耶和华，所有下到寂静之地的都不能。

死人不能讚美耶和華；下到寂靜中的也都不能。

死人不能讚美耶和華，下到寂靜中的也都不能。

死人不能讚美耶和華，下到寂靜中的也都不能。

死人不能歌頌耶和華，下到墳墓的人不能讚美祂。

死人不能讚美耶和華，下到陰間的不能讚美他。

死人不能頌讚永恆主；下於寂滅中的、不能讚美主。

死人不能讚美耶和華，所有下到寂靜之地的都不能。

死人及下入幽寂者、不頌美耶和華兮、

死者歸墓、入於何無何有之鄉、不能頌揚耶和華兮、

已死者不能頌揚主、入幽寂地者不能頌揚主、

夫彼麻木而不仁兮。焉能讚主。

It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to the place of silence;

Dead people don’t praise the Lord. Those who lie quietly in the grave don’t praise him.

The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence.

It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any of those descending into the silence of death.

The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor do any who go down into silence;

The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor any who go down into silence.

The dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;

It is not the dead who praise the Lord, nor any of those descending into the silence of death.

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

The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any of those who descend into the silence of death.

The dead don’t praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence;

For the dead do not remember you. Who can praise you from the grave?

Don’t let me be disgraced, O Lord, for I call out to you for help. Let the wicked be disgraced; let them lie silent in the grave.

Are your wonderful deeds of any use to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? InterludeCan those in the grave declare your unfailing love? Can they proclaim your faithfulness in the place of destruction?Can the darkness speak of your wonderful deeds? Can anyone in the land of forgetfulness talk about your righteousness?

For the dead cannot praise you; they cannot raise their voices in praise. Those who go down to the grave can no longer hope in your faithfulness.Only the living can praise you as I do today. Each generation tells of your faithfulness to the next.

“ He will protect his faithful ones, but the wicked will disappear in darkness. No one will succeed by strength alone.

“ What will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you? Can it tell of your faithfulness?
