⁵ The cords of the grave coiled around me;
    the snares of death^(A) confronted me.

¹³ For great is your love toward me;
    you have delivered me^(A) from the depths,
    from the realm of the dead.^(B)

As fish are caught in a cruel net,
    or birds are taken in a snare,
so people are trapped by evil times^(A)
    that fall unexpectedly upon them.^(B)

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