And he said: "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
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 down With 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.
