“The cords of death surrounded me.The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.”
Psalm 18:4 (WEB)
Context Reading
2Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer;my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. 3I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised;and I am saved from my enemies. 4The cords of death surrounded me.The floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 5The cords of Sheolwere around me.The snares of death came on me. 6In my distress I called on Yahweh,and cried to my God.He heard my voice out of his temple.My cry before him came into his ears.
