2 Samuel 22

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

5 Ref For the waves of death came round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear;

6 Ref The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.

7 Ref In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came to his ears.

8 Ref Then the earth was moved with a violent shock; the bases of heaven were moved and shaking, because he was angry.

King James Version (KJV)

5 Ref When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

6 Ref The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

7 Ref In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

8 Ref Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

5 Ref When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,

6 Ref The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death.

7 Ref In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry `is' in His ears,

8 Ref And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath!
