Psalm 18:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ Death had its ropes wrapped around me.
    A deadly flood was carrying me away.
⁵ The ropes of the grave wrapped around me.
    Death set its trap right there in front of me.
⁶ In my trouble I called to the Lord.
    Yes, I cried out to my God for help.
There in his temple he heard my voice.
    He heard my cry for help.
