Contextual Overview
1[ALEPH-BET] I [am] the man [who] has seen affliction || By the rod of His wrath. 2He has led me, and causes to go [in] darkness, and without light. 3Surely against me He turns back, || He turns His hand all the day. 4He has worn out my flesh and my skin. He has broken my bones. 5He has built up against me, || And sets around poverty and weariness. 6In dark places He has caused me to dwell, || As the dead of old.7He has hedged me in, and I do not go out, || He has made heavy my chain. 8Also when I call and cry out, || He has shut out my prayer. 9He has hedged my ways with hewn work, || My paths He has made crooked. 10A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, || A lion in secret hiding 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.''
