'Pit' in the Bible

He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.

Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers.

Then God is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.

He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light.

To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
