'Dead' in the Bible

I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.

They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth.

Among the dead -- free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.

To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? Selah.

And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,

The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
