'Pit' in the Bible
The nations fell into the pit they had made; their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.
You will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful follower to see the Pit.
"What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty?
I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me and dug a pit to trap me.
He lifted me out of the watery pit, out of the slimy mud. He placed my feet on a rock and gave me secure footing.
But you, O God, will bring them down to the deep Pit. Violent and deceitful people will not live even half a normal lifespan. But as for me, I trust in you.
They have prepared a net to trap me; I am discouraged. They have dug a pit for me. They will fall into it! (Selah)
Don't let the current overpower me! Don't let the deep swallow me up! Don't let the pit devour me!
You place me in the lowest regions of the pit, in the dark places, in the watery depths.
who delivers your life from the Pit, who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion,
