All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what [God], the holy one, has done, and thank him!

(In what way will it benefit you?/it won’t benefit you at all) if I go to the place where the dead people are [RHQ]. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you [RHQ], and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy [RHQ]!

| למען יזמרך כבוד-- ולא ידם יהוה אלהי לעולם אודך | 12 |
So I will not be silent; I will sing out [loudly] to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank you forever.
