²² The land dark as midnight, Of the shadow of death, without any order, Where the light is as midnight.'"

⁵ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes black the day terrify it.

²² There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

¹⁷ Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?

⁴ Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

¹⁹ Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.

¹² Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

⁶ Neither said they, Where is Yahweh who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man lived?

¹⁶ Give glory to Yahweh your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

²⁶ Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'
