2. He said, "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
3. My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence.
4. "I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.
5. "For the waves of death encompassed me; The torrents of destruction overwhelmed me;
6. The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
7. "In my distress I called upon the Lord, Yes, I cried to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears.
8. "Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of heaven were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.
9. "Smoke went up out of His nostrils, Fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it.
10. "He bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick darkness under His feet.
11. "And He rode on a cherub and flew; And He appeared on the wings of the wind.
12. "And He made darkness canopies around Him, A mass of waters, thick clouds of the sky.
13. "From the brightness before Him Coals of fire were kindled.
