Psalm 18:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ I will call upon the Lord, Who is to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.^(A)

⁴ The cords or bands of death surrounded me, and the streams of ungodliness and the torrents of ruin terrified me.

⁵ The cords of Sheol (the place of the dead) surrounded me; the snares of death confronted and came upon me.
