Contextual Overview
1 I, the man, have seen affliction by the rod of His wrath. 2 He led me and made me go in darkness and not light. 3 Surely He turned against me; He turns His hand all the day. 4 He has wasted my flesh and my skin. He has shattered my bones. 5 He built against me and has put around me bitterness and hardship. 6 He has made me live in dark places like the dead of old. 7 He walled around me and I cannot go out; He has made heavy my bronze chain . 8 Also, when I cry out and shout for help, He shuts out my prayer. 9 He walled up my ways with cut stone; my paths are crooked. 10 He was a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in secret places.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
He hath set me in dark places,.... In the dark house of the prison, as the Targum; in the dark dungeon where the prophet was put; or the captivity in which the Jews were, and which was like the dark grave or state of the dead; and hence they are said to be in their graves, Ezekiel 37:12. Christ was laid in the dark grave literally:
as [they that be] dead of old: that have been long dead, and are forgotten, as if they had never been; see Psalms 88:5; or, "as the dead of the world" f, or age; who, being dead, are gone out of the world, and no more in it. The Targum is,
"as the dead who go into another world.''
f כמתי עולם ως νεκρους αιωνος, Sept. "quasi mortuos seculi", Montanus, Calvin.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Or, “He hath” made me to dwell “in darkness,” i. e. in Sheol or Hades, “as those” forever “dead.”
