Contextual Overview

²He said: ³my God, my rock where I seek refuge.My shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold, my refuge,and my Savior, you save me from violence. ⁴I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,and I was saved from my enemies. ⁵For the waves of death engulfed me;the torrents of destruction terrified me. ⁶The ropes of Sheol entangled me;the snares of death confronted me. ⁷I 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. ⁸Then the earth shook and quaked;the foundations of the heavens trembled;they shook because he burned with anger. ⁹Smoke rose from his nostrils,and consuming fire came from his mouth;coals were set ablaze by it. ¹⁰He bent the heavens and came down,total darkness beneath his feet. ¹¹He rode on a cherub and flew,soaring on the wings of the wind.
