'Grip' in the Bible
Take me from the grip of the sticky earth, so that I may not go down into it; let me be lifted up from the deep waters.
I will set no worthless thing before my eyes;I hate the work of those who fall away;It shall not fasten its grip on me.
The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.
your hand will guide me there, too, while your right hand keeps a firm grip on me.
