Contextual Overview
1 I am the ma, that (thorow the rodd of his wrath) haue experiece of misery. 2 He droue me forth, and led me: yee into darcknesse, but not in to light. 3 Agaynst me only he turneth his honde, & layeth it euer vpon me. 4 My flesh & my skynne hath he made olde, and my bones hath he brussed. 5 He hath buylded rounde aboute me, & closed me in with gall and trauayle. 6 He hath set me in darcknesse, as they that be deed for euer. 7 He hath so hedged me in, that I can not get out, & hath layed heuy lynckes vpon me. 8 Though I crie & call piteously, yet heareth he not my prayer. 9 He hath stopped vp my wayes with foure squared stones, & made my pathes croked. 10 He layeth waite for me like a Bere, and as a lyon in a hole.

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.”
