3. The God of my strength, in whom I will trust;My shield and the horn of my salvation,My stronghold and my refuge;My Savior, You save me from violence.
4. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;So shall I be saved from my enemies.
5. “When the waves of death surrounded me,The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
6. The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;The snares of death confronted me.
7. In my distress I called upon the Lord,And cried out to my God;He heard my voice from His temple,And my cry entered His ears.
8. “Then the earth shook and trembled;The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken,Because He was angry.
9. Smoke went up from His nostrils,And devouring fire from His mouth;Coals were kindled by it.
10. He bowed the heavens also, and came downWith darkness under His feet.
11. He rode upon a cherub, and flew;And He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12. He made darkness canopies around Him,Dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
13. From the brightness before HimCoals of fire were kindled.
