The sorrows of hell encompassed me: and the snares of death prevented me.
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
I have called upon You, O God, for You will hear me; incline Your ear to me and hear my speech.
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
I cry out to you because you answer me. So tilt your ears toward me now— listen to what I’m saying!
The sorrows of Hell encompassed me, and the snares of death intercepted me.
