He has made me dwell in darkness like those dead for ages.

Explanation preview

The speaker is the man of verse 1, a survivor of Jerusalem's fall in 586 BC, voicing his grief in the first person. He describes God as the one who has acted against him, and here he pictures his condition as a living burial: darkness like that of the dead, a place of silence and separation from the living and from God's favor.
