Psalm 18:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ The cords of death entangled me;
    the rivers of Belial^[a] made me afraid.
⁵ The cords of Sheol^[b] surrounded me;
    the snares of death confronted me.
⁶ In my distress I cried to the Lord;
    to my God I cried for help.
From his Temple he heard my voice;
    my cry reached his ears.
