"The ropes of Sheol tightened around me, the snares of death trapped me."
— Psalms 18:5, NET Bible
“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.”
“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 high ridge, my stronghold, my deliverer. My God is my rocky summit where I take shelter, my shield, the horn that saves me, and my refuge.
I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I was delivered from my enemies.
The waves of death engulfed me, the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.
The ropes of Sheol tightened around me, the snares of death trapped me.
In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried out to my God. From his heavenly temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help.
The earth heaved and shook; the roots of the mountains trembled; they heaved because he was angry.
Smoke ascended from his nose; fire devoured as it came from his mouth; he hurled down fiery coals.
