⁵ The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came on me.

¹³ For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

³ For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol.

⁴ I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

⁵ Set apart among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.

⁶ You have laid me in the lowest pit, In the darkest depths.

⁷ Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.

⁸ You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can't escape.

¹⁵ I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.

¹⁶ Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.

¹⁷ They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.

³ The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

¹² For man also doesn't know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.

²⁴ whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
