5 For the sorrows of death com-passed me; the strands [or streams] of Belial made me afeared.

6 The cords of hell encompassed me; the snares of death have gone before me.

7 In tribulation I shall call thee, Lord, that is, I have called thee, Lord, and I shall cry to my God; and he heard from his holy temple my voice, and my cry shall come to his ears.
