…then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.

…and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

…to preserve his soul from the Pit and his life from perishing by the sword.

He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the messengers of death.

…to be gracious to him and say, ‘Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found his ransom,’

He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit, and I will live to see the light.’

…to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.

He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.

The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?

For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.

…that he should live on forever and not see decay.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

…to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

…who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,

He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.

Surely for my own welfare I had such great anguish; but Your love has delivered me from the pit of oblivion, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

The captive will soon be freed; he will not die in the dungeon, and his bread will not be lacking.

When the nations heard of him, he was trapped in their pit. With hooks they led him away to the land of Egypt.

Then the nations set out against him from the provinces on every side. They spread their net over him; he was trapped in their pit.

They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.

To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God!
