For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.

Διοτι κατεδιωξεν ο εχθρος την ψυχην μου· εταπεινωσεν εως εδαφους την ζωην με εκαθισεν εις σκοτεινους τοπους, ως τους αιωνιους νεκρους.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
