The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
Note gat…: Heb. found me
The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.
Note Sheol is the place of the dead.
The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
