The ropes of death entangled me;
floods of destruction swept over me.
The hangman's noose was tight at my throat;
devil waters rushed over me.
Hell's ropes cinched me tight;
death traps barred every exit.
We don't like to ask for help. Even when everything is great and our lives seem within our own control, we need to realise that we still need help. Even more so than when we are way out of our depth. There isn't another way out. Everything about these verses says, "You are powerless to save yourself."
