The Depth of Distress

Psalms 18:4-6

"For the cords of death surrounded me, the floods of B'liya'al terrified me,

the ropes of Sh'ol were wrapped around me, the snares of death lay there before me.

In my distress I called to ADONAI; I cried out to my God. Out of his temple he heard my voice; my cry reached his ears.
