The ropes of death wrapped around me. The traps of death were before me.
If people are bound in chains, or if trouble, like ropes, ties them up,
The ropes of death bound me, and the fear of the grave took hold of me. I was troubled and sad.
The proud hid a trap for me. They spread out a net beside the road; they set traps for me.Selah
