He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.

Er hat mich in Finsternis gelegt wie die, so längst tot sind.
Asentome en oscuridades, como los ya muertos de mucho tiempo.
Il me fait habiter dans les ténèbres, Comme ceux qui sont morts dès longtemps.
Egli mi ha fatto dimorare in luoghi tenebrosi, A guisa di quelli che son morti già da lungo tempo.
Assentou-me em lugares tenebrosos, como os que estavam mortos há muito.
使我住在幽暗之處, 像死了許久的人一樣。
