Psalms 30:8
6 In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7 O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
9 “What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
10 Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
