The sorrows of hell compassed me about: The snares of death prevented me.
The cords of Sheol (the place of the dead) surrounded me; the snares of death confronted and came upon me.
The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.
The cords of the grave surrounded me; death’s traps held me tight.
Their sound has gone forth through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
