11. Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? The dead know nothing, and therefore can declare nothing. Or thy faithfulness in destruction? If the Lord let his servant die before the
divine promise was fulfilled, it would be quite impossible for his faithfulness
to be proclaimed. The poet is dealing with this life only; if a believer were
deserted and permitted to die in despair, there could come no voice from his
grave to inform mankind that the Lord had rectified his wrongs and relieved him
of his trials.
