For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
