כִּֽי־לֹ֣א נִ֭צְמַתִּי מִפְּנֵי־חֹ֑שֶׁךְ וּ֝מִפָּנַ֗י כִּסָּה־אֹֽפֶל׃
Sebab aku tidak dilenyapkan sebelum kegelapan datang, dan Ia tidak menyembunyikan kekelaman itu dari hadapanku.
Rashi
Because I was not cut off from before the darkness Because of this I am startled; because I was not completely cut off and laid permanently in the grave before this darkness that has come upon me, and because He did not cover this thick darkness from before me until my death.
Rashi
and [because He did not] cover the thick darkness from before me This refers back to “because not” at the beginning of the verse.
