Psalm 18:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Death’s cords were wrapped around me;
    rivers of wickedness terrified me.
⁵ The cords of the grave^[a] surrounded me;
    death’s traps held me tight.
⁶ In my distress I cried out to the Lord;
    I called to my God for help.
God heard my voice from his temple;
    I called to him for help,
    and my call reached his ears.
