NASB
"The cords of death encompassed me, And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me."
— Psalms 18:4, NASB
“The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.”
“The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. ”
“The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.”
“The waves of death engulfed me, the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.”
“There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.”
“The cords of death were round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear.”
“The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.”
"I love You, O LORD, my strength."
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.
The cords of death encompassed me, And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me.
The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.
Then the earth shook and quaked; And the foundations of the mountains were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.
