"To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: "What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!" "

- Psalm 30:8-10, English Standard Version

I thought the same thing, Loren, but it's a bum none the less. They have a good idea going.
