5 When the waves of mavet (death) compassed me,

the floods of scoundrels overwhelm me;

6 The chevlei Sheol (cords of Sheol) encompassed me;

the snares of mavet confronted me;

7 In my distress I called upon Hashem,

and cried to Elohai;

and He did hear my voice out of His Heikhal,

and my cry did enter into His oznayim.
