Psalms 18:5 in Context — Psalms 18

3 Eu clamei ao SENHOR digno de louvor; e fiquei livre de meus inimigos.

4 Cordas de morte me cercaram; e riachos de maldade me encheram de medo.

5 Cordas do Xeol me envolveram; laços de morte me afrontaram.

6 Em minha angústia, clamei ao SENHOR, e roguei a meu Deus; desde o seu Templo ele ouviu a minha voz; e o meu clamor diante de seu rosto chegou aos ouvidos dele.

7 Então a terra de abalou e tremeu; e os fundamentos dos montes de moveram e foram abalados, porque ele se irritou.
