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.
