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

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

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

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;

Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.”

For when a few years have come I shall go the way from which I shall not return.

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.

But a man dies and is laid low; man breathes his last, and where is he?As waters fail from a lake and a river wastes away and dries up,so a man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake or be roused out of his sleep.Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would conceal me until your wrath be past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my service I would wait, till my renewal should come.

The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more; while your eyes are on me, I shall be gone.As the cloud fades and vanishes, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up;he returns no more to his house, nor does his place know him anymore.

For then I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,

We must all die; we are like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God will not take away life, and he devises means so that the banished one will not remain an outcast.

Is your steadfast love declared in the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon?Are your wonders known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

I said, I shall not see the Lord, the Lord in the land of the living; I shall look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.

You have put me in the depths of the pit, in the regions dark and deep.

They did not say,‘ Where is the Lord who brought us up from the land of Egypt, who led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and pits, in a land of drought and deep darkness, in a land that none passes through, where no man dwells?’
