My soul; my person or life, as in the next verse. From the lowest hell; either,
1. From hell properly so called. Or rather,
2. From extreme and desperate dangers and miseries, by comparing this with Deuteronomy 32:22, and with Psalms 88:6. Thou hast laid me in the lowest (the same word in the Hebrew which is here) pit; where by the pit he means, as is evident and confessed, the grave, which is commonly called sheol, the word here used.
