“I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:”
The supplicant is counted among the dead: "I am counted among those who go down to the Pit; I am like those who have no help." The identification with the dying or dead emphasizes a state of living death: still alive physically but severed from vital relationship with God and community.
