Context of 2 Samuel 22:7
5For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me. 6The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears. 8Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger. 9Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
