Psalm 107:18

They lost their appetite for all food, and they drew near the gates of death.

For my life is filled with troubles and I am ready to enter Sheol.

when they prayed: "Have mercy on me, Lord! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!

Or a person is chastened by pain on his bed, and with the continual strife of his bones,

Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Have you seen the gates of deepest darkness?

"I thought, 'In the middle of my life I must walk through the gates of Sheol, I am deprived of the rest of my years.'

Or a person is chastened by pain on his bed, and with the continual strife of his bones,

when they prayed: "Have mercy on me, Lord! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!

For my life is filled with troubles and I am ready to enter Sheol.

"I thought, 'In the middle of my life I must walk through the gates of Sheol, I am deprived of the rest of my years.'
