20 Are not my days few? let him [a]cease, and leave off from me, that I may take a little comfort,

21 Before I go and shall not [b]return, even to the land of darkness and shadow of death:

22 Into a land, I say, dark as darkness itself, and into the shadow of death, where is none [c]order, but the light is there as darkness.
