5. The ropes of death wrapped around me.The traps of death were before me.
6. In my trouble I called to the Lord.I cried out to my God for help.From his temple he heard my voice.My call for help reached his ears.
7. The earth trembled and shook.The foundations of the mountains began to shake.They shook because the Lord was angry.
8. Smoke came out of his nose.Burning fire came out of his mouth.Burning coals went before him.
9. He tore open the sky and came down.Dark clouds were under his feet.
10. He rode a creature with wings and flew.He flew on the wings of the wind.
11. He made darkness his covering, his shelter around him,surrounded by fog and clouds.
12. Out of the brightness of his presence came clouds.They came with hail and lightning.
13. The Lord thundered from heaven.God Most High raised his voice.And there was hail and lightning.
14. He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies.His many bolts of lightning confused them with fear.
15. Lord, you spoke strongly.The wind blew from your nose.The valleys of the sea appeared.The foundations of the earth were seen.
16. The Lord reached down from above and took me.He pulled me from the deep water.
17. He saved me from my powerful enemies.Those who hated me were too strong for me.
18. They attacked me at my time of trouble.But the Lord supported me.
19. He took me to a safe place.Because he delights in me, he saved me.
20. The Lord spared me because I did what was right.Because I have not done evil, he has rewarded me.
