Psalm 18:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ I praise the Lord because he deserves it!
When I called to him for help,
    he saved me from my enemies.
⁴ Death was near enough to catch me!
    Danger was like a river that poured over me.
⁵ Death was tying me up with ropes,
    to pull me into the deep hole of the grave.
