Psalms 18:4 Context
2The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and my deliuerer: my God, my strength in whome I will trust, my buckler, and the horne of my saluation, and my high tower. 3I will call vpon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saued from mine enemies. 4The sorrowes of death compassed me, and the floods of vngodly men made me afraid. 5The sorrowes of hell compassed me about: the snares of death preuented me. 6In my distresse I called vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: hee heard my voyce out of his temple, and my crie came before him, euen into his eares.
