3. I called upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised, and I was saved from my enemies.
4. The ropes of death encircled me, and streams of ruin overwhelmed me.
5. The ropes of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me.
6. In my trouble I called on Yahweh, and to my God I cried for help. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help came up before his presence into his ears.
7. Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled, and they staggered because he was angry.
8. Smoke went forth from his nose, and fire from his mouth consumed. Burning coals blazed from him.
9. So he bowed the heavens and came down with a thick cloud under his feet.
10. And he mounted a cherub and flew, and he swooped down on wings of wind.
