2. The Lord is my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4. The pain of death compassed me, and the rivers of Belial made me afraid.
5. The pain of Sheol compassed me about: the snares of death came before me.
6. In my distress I called upon the Lord and cried unto my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the mountains collapsed and were removed because he was wroth.
8. Smoke went up out of his nostrils, and fire devoured out of his mouth; coals were kindled by it.
9. He lowered the heavens and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
10. And he rode upon a cherub and flew: yea, he flew upon the wings of the wind.
11. He made darkness his hiding place; in his tabernacle round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the heavens.
