Their soulabhorredallkinds of food,And they drewnearto the gatesof death.
"Have the gatesof deathbeen revealedto you, Or have you seenthe gatesof deepdarkness?
For my soulhas hadenoughtroubles,And my lifehas drawnnearto Sheol.
Be graciousto me, O LORD;Seemy afflictionfrom those who hateme, You who liftme up from the gatesof death,
I said,"In the middleof my lifeI am to enterthe gatesof Sheol;I am to be deprivedof the restof my years."
