"They have lain me in the lower pit: in dark places and in the shadow of death. "
— Psalms 87:7, Catholic Public Domain Version
“As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. ”
“They that sing as well as they that dance shall say, All my fountains are in thee. ”
“Those who sing as well as those who dance say, "All my springs are in you." A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Suffering of Affliction." A contemplation by Heman, the Ezrahite.”
“As for the singers, as well as the pipers– all of them sing within your walls.”
“They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.”
“The players on instruments will be there, and the dancers will say, All my springs are in you.”
“As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. ”
For my soul has been filled with evils, and my life has drawn near to Hell.
I am considered to be among those who will descend into the pit. I have become like a man without assistance,
idle among the dead. I am like the wounded sleeping in sepulchers, whom you no longer remember, and who have been repelled by your hand.
They have lain me in the lower pit: in dark places and in the shadow of death.
Your fury has been confirmed over me. And you have brought all your waves upon me.
You have sent my acquaintances far from me. They have set me as an abomination to themselves. I was handed over, yet I did not depart.
My eyes languished before destitution. All day long, I cried out to you, O Lord. I stretched out my hands to you.
