psalms 18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

psalms 18:5 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

5. death--and hell (compare Ps 16:10) are personified as man's great enemies (compare Re 20:13, 14).
prevented--encountered me, crossed my path, and endangered my safety. He does not mean he was in their power.

psalms 18:5 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
