TSNTyndale Study Notes:

Ps 18 This royal drama of divine rescue (also found with minor variations in 2 Sam 22:1-51) encourages readers who are following the laments and requests for rescue in Pss 16 and 17. The psalmist describes the dramatic nature of God’s rescue in three different ways (18:7-15, 16-19, 30-36). The psalm also extends hope that a future Son of David will be totally victorious over evil (18:43-50; cp. Ps 2).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death trapped me

(Some words not found in UHB: encompassed,me cords death and,torrents destruction overwhelmed,me )

Here “Sheol,” the place of the dead, and “death” are spoken of as if they were people who could surround and trap him. These two clauses have similar meanings and the idea is repeated for emphasis. Alternate translation: “I felt trapped and thought I was going to die” (See also: figs-metaphor and figs-parallelism)
