King James Version with Apocrypha
"The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me."
— Psalms 18:5, King James Version with Apocrypha
“The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.”
“The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me. ”
“The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.”
“The ropes of Sheol tightened around me, the snares of death trapped me.”
“Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.”
“The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.”
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
