Psalms 18:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 18:5
Sheol's 'cords' entangled and death's 'snares' confronted David. The Hebrew 'she'ol' represents the grave and realm of the dead. The 'moqesh' (snare/trap) suggests being caught with no escape. This language appears in Peter's sermon at Pentecost describing Christ's resurrection as breaking death's cords (Acts 2:24). Reformed theology sees death as the enemy Christ conquered, freeing believers from its terror (Hebrews 2:14-15).
