Contextual Overview

2 He said, "The Lord is my rock, my strong place, and the One Who sets me free. 3 He is my God, my rock, where I go to be safe. He is my covering and the horn that saves me, my strong place where I go to be safe. You save me from being hurt. 4 I call upon the Lord, Who should be praised. I am saved from those who hate me. 5 "For the waves of death were all around me. The storm that destroys made me afraid. 6 The cords of the grave were around me. The nets of death came against me. 7 In my trouble I called upon the Lord. Yes, I cried to my God. From His house He heard my voice. My cry for help came into His ears. 8 "Then the earth shook. The mountains were shaking. They shook because He was angry. 9 Smoke went up from His nose. Fire that destroyed came from His mouth. Burnt pieces of wood were set on fire by it. 10 He tore open the heavens and came down, with darkness under His feet. 11 He sat on a cherub and flew. He was seen on the wings of the wind.
