Psalm 18:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ The cords of death encompassed me;
    the torrents of perdition assailed me;^(A)
5 the cords of Sheol entangled me;
    the snares of death confronted me.^(B)

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.^(C)
