^28 (A)For You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

⁵ They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the ^(A)foundations of the earth are ^[a]unstable.

⁶ You have laid me in the lowest pit,
In darkness, in the depths.

¹⁰ Those who ^(A)sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
^(B)Bound^[a] in affliction and irons—

³ For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in ^[a]darkness,
Like those who have long been dead.
