¹⁷ The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,^(A)
    all the nations that forget God.^(B)

¹⁵ Let death take my enemies by surprise;^(A)
    let them go down alive to the realm of the dead,^(B)
    for evil finds lodging among them.

³ The cords of death^(A) entangled me,
    the anguish of the grave came over me;
    I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
