Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - The sorrows of hell compassed me about; literally, the cords of Sheol, or Hades. Death and Hell are, both of them, personified, and made to join in the chase. The ensnaring nets are drawn nearer and nearer; at last the toils close in, the last cast is made, and the prey is taken. The snares of death prevented me; or, came upon me (Revised Version) - "took me by surprise" (Kay).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Hell.--Heb., sheol. (See Note on Psalm 6:5.)Prevented--i.e., suddenly seized upon. The poet seems to feel the cords already tightening on his limbe. He is not dead yet, but like to them who go down to sheol. This verse has one verbal difference from Samuel.
