Contextual Overview

² Our Lord and our God, you are my mighty rock, my fortress, my protector. ³ You are the rock where I am safe. You are my shield, my powerful weapon, and my place of shelter. You rescue me and keep me from being hurt. ⁴ I praise you, our Lord ! I prayed to you, and you rescued me from my enemies. ⁵ Death, like ocean waves, surrounded me, and I was almost swallowed by its flooding waters. ⁶ Ropes from the world of the dead had coiled around me, and death had set a trap in my path. ⁷ I was in terrible trouble when I called out to you, but from your temple you heard me and answered my prayer. ⁸ Earth shook and shivered! The columns supporting the sky rocked back and forth. You were angry ⁹ and breathed out smoke. Scorching heat and fiery flames spewed from your mouth. ¹⁰ You opened the heavens like curtains, and you came down with storm clouds under your feet. ¹¹ You rode on the backs of flying creatures. You appeared with the wind as wings.
