The eye of him who sees me shall watch me no more; while your eyes are upon me, I am not.

He shall never again return to his house, nor shall his place know him anymore.

But a strong man dies and is laid away; indeed man expires and where is he?

so man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake nor be aroused from their sleep.

If a man dies, shall he revive? All the days of my service I will wait, until my change comes.

But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

For we die the death and are like water poured on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away a soul; but has devised plans, so that His banished ones are not thrust away from Him.

I said, I shall not see YAH, Jehovah, in the land of the living; I shall look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.

Let darkness and the shadow of death redeem it; let a cloud settle on it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

You have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the depths.

Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in Abaddon?

Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? And Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?

Let darkness and the shadow of death redeem it; let a cloud settle on it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Nor did they say, Where is Jehovah who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of dry places, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man lived?
