If a man dies, can he come back to life? But I will wait for better times, wait till this time of trouble is ended.

Trust in the LORD. Have faith, do not despair. Trust in the LORD.

The LORD is good to everyone who trusts in him,

So it is best for us to wait in patience---to wait for him to save us---

The end of my life is near. I can hardly breathe; there is nothing left for me but the grave.

I am going soon and will never come back--- going to a land that is dark and gloomy,

a land of darkness, shadows, and confusion, where the light itself is darkness.

I know you are taking me off to my death, to the fate in store for everyone.

If I went up to heaven, you would be there; if I lay down in the world of the dead, you would be there.

Those who live good lives find peace and rest in death.
