comfort
a little,

the shadow of death;
Before I go whence
I shall not return, even
to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
The
land dark
as
midnight
, Of the shadow of death, without any order, Where the light is as midnight
. '"
A
land of
darkness
, as
darkness
itself;
and
of the shadow of death, without any order, and
where the light is as darkness
.
