Psalms 18:4-8 Good News Bible (GNB)

4. The danger of death was all round me;the waves of destruction rolled over me.

5. The danger of death was round me,and the grave set its trap for me.

6. In my trouble I called to the Lord;I called to my God for help.In his temple he heard my voice;he listened to my cry for help.

7. Then the earth trembled and shook;the foundations of the mountains rocked and quivered,because God was angry.

8. Smoke poured out of his nostrils,a consuming flame and burning coals from his mouth.
