3 The cords of death entangled me,

the anguish of the grave came over me;

I was overcome by distress and sorrow.

3 The sorrows of death compassed me,

And the pains of hell gat hold upon me:

I found trouble and sorrow.

3 Death wrapped its ropes around me;

the terrors of the grave overtook me.

I saw only trouble and sorrow.

3 The pains of death surrounded me,

And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;

I found trouble and sorrow.

3 The ropes of death bound me,

and the fear of the grave took hold of me.

I was troubled and sad.

3 The cords of death compassed me,

And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:

I found trouble and sorrow.

3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow:

3 The ropes of death became tangled around me. 

The horrors of the grave took hold of me. 

I experienced pain and agony. 

3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me,

and the torments of Sheol overcame me;

I encountered trouble and sorrow.

3 The snares of death encompassed me;

the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;

I suffered distress and anguish.

3 The ropes of death encircled me,

and the distresses of Sheol found me.

I found trouble and grief.

3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me.

The horrors of the grave came over me.

I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

3 The cords of death encompassed me

And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;

I found distress and sorrow.
