2 Samuel 22:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵ “For the waves of death encompassed me,
    the torrents of perdition assailed me;
⁶ the cords of Sheol entangled me,
    the snares of death confronted me.

⁷ “In my distress I called upon the Lord;
    to my God I called.
From his temple he heard my voice,
    and my cry came to his ears.
