"For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave
who shall give thee thanks?"
Psalms 6:5, KJV
The reason why there is no remembrance of the Lord in the
grave, is because there is no conscious thought. In fact, in
Psalm 88, which also speaks of death and the grave, it is
referred to as "the land of forgetfulness", as we see here:
"Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy
righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?"
Psalms 88:12, KJV
The writer of Ecclesiastes also tells us:
"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;
or there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom,
in the grave, whither thou goest."
Ecclesiastes 9:10, KJV
If there is no knowledge or wisdom in the grave, it can only
be because there is no conscious thought.
