2 Samuel 22:4-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

4. "I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.

5. "For the waves of death encompassed me; The torrents of destruction overwhelmed me;

6. The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

7. "In my distress I called upon the Lord, Yes, I cried to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears.

8. "Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of heaven were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.

9. "Smoke went up out of His nostrils, Fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it.
