Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
Because I was not cut off before the darkness [of these woes befell me], neither has He covered the thick darkness from my face.
Still I’m not annihilated by darkness; he has hidden deep darkness from me.
Yet I have not perished because of the threatening darkness, nor has gloom covered my face.
For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me: neither hath the mist covered my face.
