Psalms 18:5-10 New English Translation (NET)

5. The ropes of Sheol tightened around me,the snares of death trapped me.

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

7. The earth heaved and shook;the roots of the mountains trembled;they heaved because he was angry.

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

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

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