⁵ May darkness and ^(A)the shadow of death claim it;
May a cloud settle on it;
May the blackness of the day terrify it.

²¹ Before I go to the place from which I shall not return,
^(A)To the land of darkness ^(B)and the shadow of death,

²² A land as dark as darkness itself,
As the shadow of death, without any order,
Where even the light is like darkness.’ ”

¹⁷ For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
If someone recognizes them,
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

¹⁹ But You have severely broken us in ^(A)the place of jackals,
And covered us ^(B)with the shadow of death.
