Psalm 17:5
Douay-Rheims
The sorrows of death surrounded me: and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
death--and hell (compare Psa 16:10) are personified as man's great enemies (compare Rev 20:13-14). prevented--encountered me, crossed my path, and endangered my safety. He does not mean he was in their power.
