Context of 2 Samuel 22:8
6The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. 7I called to the Lord in my distress; I called to my God. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry for help reached his ears. Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they shook because he burned with anger. 9Smoke rose from his nostrils, and consuming fire came from his mouth; coals were set ablaze by it. 10He bent the heavens and came down, total darkness beneath his feet.
