“The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.”
The description of the cords of Sheol closing around the speaker and traps of death confronting him expresses the imminence of death. The closing imagery suggests being ensnared and unable to escape. The confronting suggests that death approaches directly and inescapably. This verse emphasizes that the speaker faced literal death before being delivered.
