Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 22:6:

and the traps of disaster came towards me.β (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: βThe ropes of Sheol wrapped all around me.
The mouth of death was waiting for me.β (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: βDeath is also like a cord that coiled me and like a trap in my path.β (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
