Psalms 87:5
A church father on this verse
“We ought to know that what we have interpreted of the Church can be understood also of our soul.

3Let my prayer come in before thee; Incline thine ear to my supplication, O Lord.
4For my soul is filled with troubles, And my life has drawn nigh to Hades.
— Psalms 87:5 —

7They laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, and in the shadow of death.
