The (A)ropes of death encompassed me,
And the (B)torrents of [a]destruction [b]terrified me.
The (C)ropes of [c]Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
In my (D)distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice (E)from His temple,
And my (F)cry for help before Him came into His ears.
