4. I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5. When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of Belial made me afraid;
6. when the cords of Sheol compassed me about; the snares of death came before me;
7. in my distress I called upon the Lord and cried to my God, who heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears.
8. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the heavens were moved and shook because he was wroth.
9. Smoke went up from his nostrils, and fire devoured out of his mouth; coals were kindled by it.
10. And he lowered the heavens and came down, and darkness was under his feet.
11. And he rode upon a cherub and flew; and he appeared upon the wings of the wind.
12. He placed darkness like tabernacles round about him, dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
13. From the brightness of his presence, coals of fire were kindled.
14. The Lord thundered from the heavens, and the most High uttered his voice;
15. he sent out arrows and scattered them; he sent forth lightning, and consumed them.
16. Then the springs of the sea appeared and the foundations of the world were uncovered, at the rebuking of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
