"And you have not enclosed me in the hands of the enemy. You have set my feet in a spacious place. "
— Psalms 30:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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 my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? ”
“"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your 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?”
“And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.”
“What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?”
“What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?”
Into your hands, I commend my spirit. You have redeemed me, O Lord, God of truth.
You have hated those who practice emptiness to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord.
I will exult and rejoice in your mercy. For you have looked upon my humility; you have saved my soul from needfulness.
And you have not enclosed me in the hands of the enemy. You have set my feet in a spacious place.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am troubled. My eye has been disturbed by wrath, along with my soul and my gut.
For my life has fallen into sorrow, and my years into sighing. My virtue has been weakened in poverty, and my bones have been disturbed.
I have become a disgrace among all my enemies, and even more so to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. Those who catch sight of me, flee away from me.
