3 The cords of death entangled me,

the anguish of the grave came over me;

I was overcome by distress and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:

“Lord, save me!”

3 The sorrows of death compassed me, And the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

3 Death wrapped its ropes around me;

the terrors of the grave overtook me.

I saw only trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:

“Please, Lord, save me!”

3 The pains of death surrounded me,

And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;

I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord:

“O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”

3 The ropes of death bound me,

and the fear of the grave took hold of me.

I was troubled and sad.

4 Then I called out the name of the Lord.

I said, “Please, Lord, save me!”

3 The cords of death compassed me,

And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:

I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:

O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: 4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.

3 The ropes of death became tangled around me. 

The horrors of the grave took hold of me. 

I experienced pain and agony. 

4 But I kept calling on the name of the Lord: 

“Please, Lord, rescue me!” 

3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me,

and the torments of Sheol overcame me;

I encountered trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of Yahweh:

“Yahweh, save me!”

3 The snares of death encompassed me;

the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;

I suffered distress and anguish.

4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:

“O Lord, I pray, save my life!”

3 The ropes of death encircled me,

and the distresses of Sheol found me.

I found trouble and grief.

4 Then I called on the name of Yahweh:

“O Yahweh, please save my life!”

3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me.

The horrors of the grave came over me.

I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called out to the Lord.

I cried out, “Lord, save me!”

3 The cords of death encompassed me

And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;

I found distress and sorrow.

4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord:

“O Lord, I beseech You, save my life!”
