2 Samuel 22:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ “The waves of death ·came around [swirled about; encompassed] me;
    the ·deadly rivers [floods/torrents of destruction] overwhelmed me.
⁶ The ·ropes of death [cords of the grave/Sheol] ·wrapped around [entangled; coiled around] me.
    The ·traps [snares] of death ·were before [confronted; lay ahead of] me.
⁷ In my ·trouble [distress; anguish] I ·called [cried out] to the Lord;
    I ·cried out [called] to my God.
From his ·temple [sanctuary] he heard my voice;
    my ·call for help [cry] reached his ears.
