“ What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?

I said,“ What good will come if I become silent in death? What good will come if I go down into the grave? Can the dust of my dead body praise you? Can it tell how faithful you are?

“ What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?

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

“ What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your truth?

“ What gain is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

“ What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

“ What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your truth?

What profit[ is there] in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

“ What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty?

“ What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave? (niv)

It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to the place of silence;it is we who extol the Lord, both now and forevermore. Praise the Lord. (niv)

For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness. (niv)

I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done. (niv)

Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do their spirits rise up and praise you?Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction?Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion? (niv)

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. (niv)
