4. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies.
5. For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of destruction terrified me.
6. The ropes of Sheol entangled me;the snares of death confronted me.
7. I called to the Lord in my distress;I called to my God. From His temple He heard my voice,and my cry for help reached His ears.
8. Then the earth shook and quaked;the foundations of the heavens trembled; they shook because He burned with anger.
9. Smoke rose from His nostrils,and consuming fire came from His mouth;coals were set ablaze by it.
10. He parted the heavens and came down, a dark cloud beneath His feet.
11. He rode on a cherub and flew,soaring on the wings of the wind.
12. He made darkness a canopy around Him,a gathering of water and thick clouds.
13. From the radiance of His presence,flaming coals were ignited.
14. The Lord thundered from heaven;the Most High projected His voice.
