‏ Psalms 88:4-6

4 They treat me like ^{▼▼tn Heb “I am considered with.”} those who descend into the grave. ^{▼▼tn Heb “the pit.” The noun בּוֹר (bor, “pit,” “cistern”) is sometimes used of the grave and/or the realm of the dead.}
I am like a helpless man, ^{▼▼tn Heb “I am like a man [for whom] there is no help.”}
5 adrift ^{▼▼tn Heb “set free.”} among the dead,
like corpses lying in the grave
whom you remember no more
and who are cut off from your power. ^{▼▼tn Heb “from your hand.”}
6 You place me in the lowest regions of the Pit, ^{▼▼tn The noun בּוֹר (bor, “pit,” “cistern”) is sometimes used of the grave and/or the realm of the dead. See v. 4.}
in the dark places, in the watery depths.
