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 down With 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 waters And thick clouds of the skies.
12
From the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.
