6. The ropes of death wrapped around me.The traps of death were before me.
7. In my trouble I called to the Lord;I cried out to my God.From his temple he heard my voice;my call for help reached his ears.
8. “The earth trembled and shook.The foundations of heaven began to shake.They trembled because the Lord was angry.
9. Smoke came out of his nose,and burning fire came out of his mouth.Burning coals went before him.
10. He tore open the sky and came downwith dark clouds under his feet.
11. He rode a creature with wings and flew.He raced on the wings of the wind.
12. He made darkness his shelter,surrounded by fog and clouds.
13. Out of the brightness of his presencecame flashes of lightning.
14. The Lord thundered from heaven;the Most High raised his voice.
15. He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies.His bolts of lightning confused them with fear.
16. The Lord spoke strongly.The wind blew from his nose.Then the valleys of the sea appeared,and the foundations of the earth were seen.
