Psalms 18:4-7 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. Death’s cords were wrapped around me;rivers of wickedness terrified me.

5. The cords of the grave surrounded me;death’s traps held me tight.

6. In my distress I cried out to the Lord;I called to my God for help.God heard my voice from his temple;I called to him for help,and my call reached his ears.

7. The earth rocked and shook;the bases of the mountains trembled and reeledbecause of God’s anger.
