NASB
"The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me."
— Psalms 18:5, NASB
“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 sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.”
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.
Smoke went up out of His nostrils, And fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it.
