Contextual Overview
2 He said: "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my Savior. 3 My God is my rock. I can run to him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender and my place of safety. The Lord saves me from those who want to harm me. 4 I will call to the Lord , who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies. 5 "The waves of death came around me; the deadly rivers overwhelmed me. 6 The ropes of death wrapped around me. The traps of death were before me. 7 In my trouble I called to the Lord ; I cried out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my call for help reached his ears. 8 "The earth trembled and shook. The foundations of heaven began to shake. They trembled because the Lord was angry. 9 Smoke came out of his nose, and burning fire came out of his mouth. Burning coals went before him. 10 He tore open the sky and came down with dark clouds under his feet. 11 He rode a creature with wings and flew. He raced on the wings of the wind.
