Psalms 28:1

Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
1

Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

2

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

Sheol / The Grave

The "pit" could be interpreted metaphorically as a state of despair, destruction, or abandonment, rather than a literal reference to the grave or the state of the dead. The speaker's concern is about God's silence, implying a present danger or suffering, not necessarily a post-mortem state.
