But let darkness and the shadow of death seize it; let blackness come upon it.

Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves.

And do the gates of death open to you out of fear; and did the porters of hell quake when they saw you?

Yea, though I walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

For You have laid us low in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.

Shall Your wonders be known in darkness? And Your righteousness in a forgotten land?

And they said not, Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who guided us in the wilderness, in an untried and trackless land, in a land in which no man has entered, and no man has dwelt in?

Give glory to the Lord your God, before He causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and you shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.

And besides all this, between us and you a great gulf has been fixed, so that those who desire to cross [over] from here to you are not able, nor may those from there cross over to us.'
