“The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.”
The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. The speaker recounts the near-fatal crisis: death's 'snares' and Sheol's 'pangs' created existential terror. The emotional toll ('distress and anguish') adds weight to the account. This verse establishes the severity of the threat from which the speaker was rescued.
