Verse 3 is found in chapter 88 of Psalms. Psalm 88 is one of the darkest laments in the Psalter and ends without an explicit resolution. The petitioner is near death, isolated from friends, and surrounded by affliction. Precisely for this reason it is theologically significant: biblical prayer allows an experience to be brought before God even when no explanation or visible restoration has yet appeared. The continued cry to the Lord keeps the relationship open even within darkness.

Porque a minha alma está cheia de angústia, e a minha vida se aproxima da sepultura.
因為我心裏滿了患難, 我的性命臨近陰間;
