Contextual Overview
1 I am the man who has seen misery Because of the rod of His wrath. 2 He has driven me and made me walk In darkness and not in light. 3 Indeed, He has turned His hand against me Repeatedly all the day. 4 He has consumed my flesh and my skin, He has broken my bones. 5 He has besieged and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship. 6 He has made me live in dark places, Like those who have long been dead.7 He has walled me in so that I cannot go out; He has made my chain heavy. 8 Even when I cry out and call for help, He shuts out my prayer. 9 He has blocked my ways with cut stone; He has twisted my paths. 10 He is to me like a bear lying in wait, Like 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.”
