Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 11 is found in chapter 88 of Psalms. Psalm 88 is one of the darkest laments in the Psalter and ends without an explicit resolution. The petitioner is near death, isolated from friends, and surrounded by affliction. Precisely for this reason it is theologically significant: biblical prayer allows an experience to be brought before God even when no explanation or visible restoration has yet appeared. The continued cry to the Lord keeps the relationship open even within darkness.

Wirst du denn unter den Toten Wunder tun, oder werden die Verstorbenen aufstehen und dir danken? (Sela.)
¿Será contada en el sepulcro tu misericordia, O tu verdad en la perdición?
¿Se contará en la tumba tu amor leal, o tu fidelidad en Abadón?
Parle-t-on de ta bonté dans le sépulcre, De ta fidélité dans l'abîme?
La tua benignità si narrerà ella nel sepolcro? E la tua verità nel luogo della perdizione?
Será anunciada a tua benignidade na sepultura, ou a tua fidelidade na perdição?
你的慈愛豈能在墳墓裏被人述說嗎? 你的信實豈能在冥府 被人傳揚嗎?
