Psalm 18:4-6

Revised Standard Version

⁴ The cords of death encompassed me,
    the torrents of perdition assailed me;
⁵ the cords of Sheol entangled me,
    the snares of death confronted me.

⁶ In my distress I called upon the Lord;
    to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
    and my cry to him reached his ears.
