Psalms [Praises] 18:4-6

⁴The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

⁵The cords of Sheol ·Place of the dead· were around me. The snares of death came on me.

⁶In my distress I called on Adonai , and cried to my God. He sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.
