4 ^aThe cords of death encompassed me;
^bthe torrents of destruction assailed me; ^{▼▼Or terrified me}
5 ^dthe cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.

Psalms 88:3-18

3 For my soul is full of troubles,
and ^emy life draws near to ^fSheol.
4 I am counted among those who ^ggo down to the pit;
I am a man who has no strength,
5 like one set loose among the dead,
like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom ^hyou remember no more,
for they are ⁱcut off from your hand.
6 You have put me in ^jthe depths of the pit,
in the ^kregions dark and ^ldeep.
7 Your wrath ^mlies heavy upon me,
and you overwhelm me with ⁿall your waves. Selah
8 You have caused ^omy companions to shun me;
you have made me ^pa horror ^{▼▼Or an abomination} to them.
I am ^rshut in so that I cannot escape;
9 ^smy eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O Lord;
I ^tspread out my hands to you.
10 Do you work wonders for the dead?
^uDo the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
11 Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12 Are your ^vwonders known in ^wthe darkness,
or your righteousness in the land of ^xforgetfulness?
13 But I, O Lord, cry ^yto you;
^zin the morning my prayer comes before you.
14 O Lord, why ^aado you cast my soul away?
Why ^abdo you hide your face from me?
15 Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
I suffer your terrors; I am helpless. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain}
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
your ^addreadful assaults destroy me.
17 They ^aesurround me like a flood ^afall day long;
they ^agclose in on me together.
18 You have caused ^ahmy beloved and my friend to shun me;
my companions have become darkness. ^{▼▼Or darkness has become my only companion}

Psalms 116:3

3 ^ajThe snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.

107 I am severely ^akafflicted;
^algive me life, O Lord, according to your word!
