“The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.”
The description of the cords of death and torrents of destruction surrounding the speaker and terrors of Sheol overwhelming him establishes the extremity of danger. The death imagery suggests mortal peril approaching from all sides. The waves and torrents suggest that the danger overwhelms like natural disaster. This verse articulates the acute distress from which God has rescued the speaker.
