Psalm 17:6–8

5 The cords of the grave coiled around me;

the snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress I called to the Lord;

I cried to my God for help.

From his temple he heard my voice;

my cry came before him, into his ears.

7 The earth trembled and quaked,

and the foundations of the mountains shook;

they trembled because he was angry.

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.

7 Then the earth reeled and rocked;

the foundations also of the mountains trembled

and quaked, because he was angry.

5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about:

The snares of death prevented me.

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,

And cried unto my God:

He heard my voice out of his temple,

And my cry came before him, even into his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations also of the hills moved

And were shaken, because he was wroth.

5 The grave wrapped its ropes around me;

death laid a trap in my path.

6 But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;

yes, I prayed to my God for help.

He heard me from his sanctuary;

my cry to him reached his ears.

7 Then the earth quaked and trembled.

The foundations of the mountains shook;

they quaked because of his anger.

5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;

The snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,

And cried out to my God;

He heard my voice from His temple,

And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,

Because He was angry.

5 The ropes of death wrapped around me.

The traps of death were before me.

6 In my trouble I called to the Lord.

I cried out to my God for help.

From his temple he heard my voice;

my call for help reached his ears.

7 The earth trembled and shook.

The foundations of the mountains began to shake.

They trembled because the Lord was angry.

5 The cords of Sheol were round about me;

The snares of death came upon me.

6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah,

And cried unto my God:

He heard my voice out of his temple,

And my cry before him came into his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations also of the mountains quaked

And were shaken, because he was wroth.

5 The bands of Sheol surrounded me, the cords of death encountered me. 6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears. 7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.

5 The ropes of the grave had surrounded me. 

The clutches of death had confronted me. 

6 I called on the Lord in my distress. 

I cried to my God for help. 

He heard my voice from his temple, 

and my cry for help reached his ears. 

7 Then the earth shook and quaked. 

Even the foundations of the mountains trembled. 

They shook violently because he was angry. 

5 The ropes of Sheol entangled me;

the snares of death confronted me.

6 I called to the Lord in my distress,

and I cried to my God for help.

From His temple He heard my voice,

and my cry to Him reached His ears.

7 Then the earth shook and quaked;

the foundations of the mountains trembled;

they shook because He burned with anger.

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.

7 Then the earth reeled and rocked;

the foundations also of the mountains trembled

and reeled because he was angry.

5 The ropes of Sheol surrounded me;

the snares of death confronted me.

6 In my trouble I called on Yahweh,

and to my God I cried for help.

He heard my voice from his temple,

and my cry for help

came up before his presence into his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and quaked,

and the foundations of the mountains trembled,

and they staggered because he was angry.

5 The ropes of the grave were tight around me.

Death set its trap in front of me.

6 When I was in trouble, I called out to the Lord.

I cried to my God for help.

From his temple he heard my voice.

My cry for help reached his ears.

7 The earth trembled and shook.

The base of the mountains rocked back and forth.

It trembled because the Lord was angry.

5 The cords of Sheol surrounded me;

The snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,

And cried to my God for help;

He heard my voice out of His temple,

And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

7 Then the earth shook and quaked;

And the foundations of the mountains were trembling

And were shaken, because He was angry.
