9 I said, what gain is in my blood, If to the [feared] grave I go: Doth silent dust there speak thy praise? Doth it thy [truth and] mercy show?
10 Hear, gracious Lord, a sinner's cries, Who doth thy [needful] mercy crave; Lord help me in this deep distress, And from this [feared] danger save.
11 Then didst thou turn my grief and moans Into a pleasant [thankful] voice: My mourning garments thou tookest off, And taughtest me to [sing and] rejoice.
11 Then didst thou turn my grief and moans Into a pleasant [thankful] voice: My mourning garments thou took'st off, And taught'st me to [sing and] rejoyce.
12 That so my tongue may sing thy praise, And never [henceforth] silent be. O Lord my God, for evermore I will give thanks [and praise] to thee.
