2 Samuel 22:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 22:6

The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death
prevented me.] (See Gill on Psalms 18:5).

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
