2 Samuel 22:6-11 New English Translation (NET)

6. The ropes of Sheol tightened around me;the snares of death trapped me.

7. In my distress I called to the Lord;I called to my God.From his heavenly temple he heard my voice;he listened to my cry for help.

8. The earth heaved and shook;the foundations of the sky trembled.They heaved because he was angry.

9. Smoke ascended from his nose;fire devoured as it came from his mouth;he hurled down fiery coals.

10. He made the sky sink as he descended;a thick cloud was under his feet.

11. He mounted a winged angel and flew;he glided on the wings of the wind.
