before I go to a land of darkness and gloom, never to return.

就是在我去而不返，往黑暗和死荫之地以先。

就是在我去而不返，往黑暗和死荫之地以先。

我很快就一去不返，进入幽冥黑暗之地。

在去而不返之前，可以喜乐片刻；

就是在我去而不返，往黑暗和死蔭之地以先。

就是在我去而不返，往黑暗和死蔭之地以先。

我很快就一去不返，進入幽冥黑暗之地。

在去而不返之前，可以喜樂片刻；

在往而不返之先，往黑暗死蔭之地以先，稍有喜色。

在我往而不返之先、未至幽冥陰翳之地、

然後長往不返、至幽暗陰翳之地。

在我往而不返之先、使我稍得安息、我所將往之處、乃幽暗死陰之地、

before I go to the place of no return, to the land of gloom and utter darkness,

Turn away before I go to the place I can’t return from. It’s the land of gloom and total darkness.

before I go— and I shall not return— to the land of darkness and deep shadow,

before I leave— never to return— for the land of darkness and utter gloom.

Before I go— and I shall not return— To the land of darkness and deep shadow,

Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, To the land of darkness and the shadow of death,

Before I go whence I shall not return, Even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

before I go to a land of darkness and gloom, never to return.

Before I go[ whence] I shall not return,[ even] to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

before I depart, never to return, to the land of darkness and the deepest shadow,

before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it. May what darkens the day terrify it.

But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I’ll go to him, but he will never return to me.”

For only a few years will pass before I go the way of no return.

Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me.

But a person dies and fades away; he breathes his last— where is he?As water disappears from a lake and a river becomes parched and dry,so people lie down never to rise again. They will not wake up until the heavens are no more; they will not stir from their sleep.If only you would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until your anger passes. If only you would appoint a time for me and then remember me.When a person dies, will he come back to life? If so, I would wait all the days of my struggle until my relief comes.

The eye of anyone who looks on me will no longer see me. Your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.As a cloud fades away and vanishes, so the one who goes down to Sheol will never rise again.He will never return to his house; his hometown will no longer remember him.

Now I would certainly be lying down in peace; I would be asleep. Then I would be at rest

We will certainly die and be like water poured out on the ground, which can’t be recovered. But God would not take away a life; he would devise plans so that the one banished from him does not remain banished.

Will your faithful love be declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Abaddon?Will your wonders be known in the darkness or your righteousness in the land of oblivion?

I said: I will never see the LORD, the LORD in the land of the living; I will not look on humanity any longer with the inhabitants of what is passing away.

You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit, in the darkest places, in the depths.

They stopped asking,“ Where is the LORD who brought us from the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and ravines, through a land of drought and darkness, a land no one traveled through and where no one lived?”
