When the waves of death compassed me, The floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
For the waves of death enveloped me; the torrents of destruction made me afraid.
For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:
Death’s waves were all around me; rivers of wickedness terrified me.
For the pangs of death have encircled me. The torrents of Belial have terrified me.
