Psalm 18:3-5

International Standard Version

³ I cried out to the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
    and I was delivered from my enemies.

⁴ The cords of death entangled me;
    the rivers of Belial^[a] made me afraid.
⁵ The cords of Sheol^[b] surrounded me;
    the snares of death confronted me.
