Psalm 30:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ I cried out to you, Lord.
    I begged my Lord for mercy:
⁹ “What is to be gained by my spilled blood,
    by my going down into the pit?
Does dust thank you?
    Does it proclaim your faithfulness?
¹⁰ Lord, listen and have mercy on me!
    Lord, be my helper!”
