Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
Be gracious to me, O Lord! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death,
they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.
Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.”
He who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning and darkens the day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the Lord is his name;
The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons,
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
He uncovers the deeps out of darkness and brings deep darkness to light.
