Psalms 18:5. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
He could not stir a step without falling into a trap of some sort or other. What an awful
picture this is! I can hardly imagine that the case could be painted in much blacker colors. None but God could help him, it is evident; for his
sorrows were the sorrows of death. The floods that surged around him were the floods of ungodly men; and there are no wild beasts so much to be dreaded as ungodly men. They can do more harm to us than can lions in their dens. David’s sorrows were the sorrows of hell, and the snares that lay in his pathway were the snares of death.
