Psalms 116:3. The sorrows of death compassed me,
"They formed a ring around me, from which I could see no way of escape. I was like a wounded stag that is surrounded by fierce dogs."
Psalms 116:3. And the pains of hell gat hold upon me:
"The dogs of hell had fixed their cruel teeth in my throat so that it seemed impossible for me to escape from them."
Psalms 116:3. I found trouble and sorrow.
"When I searched for something better, I only found still more trouble and sorrow. I had enough of them without finding any more; but the more I looked for anything else, the more trouble and sorrow I found." This is a very graphic description of the state of heart in which some of us have been more than once. We have seen no way of escaping from it, and we have been in great distress because we could not discover any way of alleviating our grief.
