Psalms 18:5 - Exposition

The sorrows of hell compassed me about ; literally, the cords of Sheol , or Hades. Death and Hell are, both of them, personified, and made to join in the chase. The ensnaring nets are drawn nearer and nearer; at last the toils close in, the last cast is made, and the prey is taken. The snares of death prevented me ; or, came upon me (Revised Version)—"took me by surprise" (Kay).
