He put me in the dark, like someone who died long ago.
My enemies are chasing me. They have crushed me into the dirt. They are pushing me into the dark grave, like people who died long ago.
Hurry and answer me, Lord! I have lost my courage. Don’t turn away from me. Don’t let me die and become like the people lying in the grave.
We are like people without eyes. We walk into walls like blind people. We stumble and fall as if it was night. Even in the daylight, we cannot see. At noontime, we fall like dead men.
