Their soul abhors all manner of meat; and they draw near to the gates of death.
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draws near to the grave.
Have mercy on me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
Have the gates of death been opened to you? or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
