3I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise,

and he saved me from my enemies.

4The ropes of death entangled me;

floods of destruction swept over me.

5The grave wrapped its ropes around me;

death laid a trap in my path.

6But 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.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,

and I am saved from my enemies.

The cords of death encompassed me;

the torrents of destruction assailed me;

the cords of Sheol entangled me;

the snares of death confronted me.

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.

and I have been saved from my enemies.

The cords of death entangled me;

the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

The cords of the grave coiled around me;

the snares of death confronted me.

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.

I called upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised,

and I was saved from my enemies.

The ropes of death encircled me,

and streams of ruin overwhelmed me.

The ropes of Sheol surrounded me;

the snares of death confronted me.

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised:

So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

The sorrows of death compassed me,

And the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

The sorrows of hell compassed me about:

The snares of death prevented me.

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.
