Psalms 116:3

Psalms 116:3. The sorrows of death compassed me,-

Just as the dogs surround the poor stag, and shut him in the fatal circle.

Psalms 116:3. And the pains of hell gat hold upon me:-

They set their teeth into him as the dogs do into the stag.

Psalms 116:3. I found trouble and sorrow.

He was in a double grief; he had trouble without and sorrow within, it was troubled sorrow and sorrowful trouble, wormwood mingled with gall.
