'Going Down to the Pit' in the Bible

By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down to the pit.

What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

I have been reckoned with those going down to the pit, I have been as a man without strength.

Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down to the pit.
