New International Version (NIV)

17Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,

by the thick darkness that covers my face.

17But I am not destroyed by darkness,

Nor by deep gloom whichcovers me.

17But I am not silenced by the darkness [of these woes that fell on me],

Nor by the thick darkness which covers my face.

17Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,

by the thick darkness that covers my face.[’’]

17Because I was not cut off before the darkness,

Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

17For I am not cut off in darknesse, but he hath hid the darkenesse from my face.

17Because I was not cut off before the darkness,

neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

17But even the darkness of death won’t make me silent.

When the darkness of the grave covers my face, I won’t be quiet.

17Because of all my troubles,

I seem to be in a very dark place.

The darkness seems to cover me.

But I will not be afraid to speak.

17For I have not been cut off before darkness, || And before me He covered thick darkness.”
