Psalm 18:4-6

^{Tools
4}

The ^(A)cords of death encompassed me,
And the ^(B)torrents of ^(a)ungodliness ^(b)terrified me.

^{Tools

The ^(C)cords of ^(c)Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.

^{Tools

In my ^(D)distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice ^(E)out of His temple,
And my ^(F)cry for help before Him came into His ears.
