'Pit' in the Bible

He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.

then God is gracious to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.'

He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life shall see the light.'

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