'Compared' 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.

The way of faithfulness I have chosen, Thy judgments I have compared,

Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me is my soul.

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.
