4 The cords of death entangled me;

the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

4 The sorrows of death compassed me,

And the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

4 The ropes of death entangled me;

floods of destruction swept over me.

4 The pangs of death surrounded me,

And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

4 The ropes of death came around me;

the deadly rivers overwhelmed me.

4 The cords of death compassed me,

And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

4 The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.

4 The ropes of death had become tangled around me. 

The torrents of destruction had overwhelmed me. 

4 The ropes of death were wrapped around me;

the torrents of destruction terrified me.

4 The cords of death encompassed me;

the torrents of perdition assailed me;

4 The ropes of death encircled me,

and streams of ruin overwhelmed me.

4 The ropes of death were almost wrapped around me.

A destroying flood swept over me.

4 The cords of death encompassed me,

And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me.
