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.
