Verse 5 is found in chapter 18 of Psalms. Psalm 18 is an extensive thanksgiving for a deliverance attributed directly to the Lord. The opening description uses images of rock, fortress, shield, and refuge before portraying divine intervention through cosmic phenomena. The psalmist then interprets his deliverance in relation to his walk before God and describes how the Lord equips him for battle. The psalm concludes by broadening the perspective toward God’s faithfulness to the king and his descendants.

Es umfingen mich des Todes Bande, und die Bäche des Verderbens erschreckten mich.
Dolores del sepulcro me rodearon, Previniéronme lazos de muerte.
Las cuerdas del Seol me rodearon y las trampas de la muerte me salieron al encuentro.
Les liens du sépulcre m'avaient entouré, Les filets de la mort m'avaient surpris.
Legami di sepolcro mi avevano intorniato, Lacci di morte mi avevano incontrato.
Tristezas do inferno me cingiram, laços de morte me surpreenderam.
陰間的繩索纏繞我, 死亡的圈套臨到我。
