translationNotes

• For Sheol does not thank you; death does not praise you - Here "Sheol" and "death" refer to "dead people." (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy)
• Those who go down into the pit - "Those who go to Sheol" or "Those who go down to the grave"
• do not hope in your trustworthiness - "do not have hope in your faithfulness." Here "your" is singular and refers to Yahweh. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_you)
• The living person, the living person - This is repeated for emphasis. (:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_doublet)
