5. For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
6. The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me.
7. In my distress, I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into 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 out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
10. He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
11. He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.
12. He made darkness a shelter around himself: gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13. At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.
