Psalms 74:20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. Psalms 88:6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Psalms 88:18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. Psalms 143:3 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. Isaiah 29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? Isaiah 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. Lamentations 3:6 He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
