He has set me in dark places, as those who are dead from of old.
For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has struck my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: do not hide your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places like dead men.
