Psalms 18:5

The sorrows of sheol surrounded me: the snares of death confronted me.
Read Chapter 18

Augustine of Hippo

AD 430
6. "The pains of hell compassed Me about" (ver. 5). Among those that compassed Me about to destroy Me, were pains of envy, which work death, and lead on to the hell of sin. "The snares of death prevented Me." They prevented Me, so that they wished to hurt Me first, which shall afterwards be recompensed unto them. Now they seize unto destruction such men as they have evilly persuaded by the boast of righteousness: in the name but not in the reality of which they glory against the Gentiles.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
