The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.

World English Bible

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful.

The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling.

I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.

What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me?

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
