2. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer;my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3. I call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;and I am saved from my enemies.
4. The cords of death surrounded me.The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5. The cords of Sheol were around me.The snares of death came on me.
6. In my distress I called on the Lord,and cried to my God.He heard my voice out of his temple.My cry before him came into his ears.
7. Then the earth shook and trembled.The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken,because he was angry.
8. Smoke went out of his nostrils.Consuming fire came out of his mouth.Coals were kindled by it.
9. He bowed the heavens also, and came down.Thick darkness was under his feet.
10. He rode on a cherub, and flew.Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
