This suggests that the psalmist recognizes that his current state is not accidental but allowed by God for a purpose. The "lowest pit" refers to a place of extreme distress or Sheol, the realm of the dead in Hebrew thought. It is a metaphor for the deepest form of suffering and alienation from the living. Historically, Sheol was understood as a shadowy place where the dead reside, emphasizing the psalmist's feeling of being cut off from life and hope. in the darkest depths Parallel Commentaries ...
