2. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;So shall I be saved from my enemies.
4. The pangs of death surrounded me,And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5. The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;The snares of death confronted me.
6. In my distress I called upon the Lord,And cried out to my God;He heard my voice from His temple,And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.
7. Then the earth shook and trembled;The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,Because He was angry.
8. Smoke went up from His nostrils,And devouring fire from His mouth;Coals were kindled by it.
9. He bowed the heavens also, and came downWith darkness under His feet.
10. And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;He flew upon the wings of the wind.
11. He made darkness His secret place;His canopy around Him was dark watersAnd thick clouds of the skies.
12. From the brightness before Him,His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.
13. The Lord thundered from heaven,And the Most High uttered His voice,Hailstones and coals of fire.
14. He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe,Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
15. Then the channels of the sea were seen,The foundations of the world were uncoveredAt Your rebuke, O Lord,At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
