Psalms116:3
Verſ. 3 The ſorrows of death compaſſed mee] See Pſal. 18.4, 5. Pictura poetica ingentium periculorum. Sorrows, or pangs, and thoſe deadly ones, and theſe compaſſed mee as a bird in a ſnare, or a beaſt in a grin.
The pains of Hell (or the griefs of the grave) gat hold] Heb. Found mee, as Num. 32.23.
I found trouble and ſorrow] Straits inextricable cauſe ſorrows inexplicable. The word ſignifieth ſuch ſorrow as venteth it ſelf by ſighing, Iſa. 35.10. & 51.11.
