Psalms 6:5

Death and loss

3 My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?

4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.

For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?

6 I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

7 My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
