Psalm 18:5
New King James Version
5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
Psalm 88:3-8
New King James Version
3 For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life (A)draws near to the grave.
4 I am counted with those who (B)go[a] down to the pit;
(C)I am like a man who has no strength,
5 [b]Adrift among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And who are cut off from Your hand.
6 You have laid me in the lowest pit,
In darkness, in the depths.
7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
And You have afflicted me with all (D)Your waves. Selah
8 (E)You have [c]put away my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an abomination to them;
(F)I am shut up, and I cannot get out;
