Context of 2 Samuel 22:7

5For the waves of death encompassed me, Torrents of Belial made me afraid. 6The bands of Sheol surrounded me; The cords of death encountered me; In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And I cried to my God; And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears. 8Then the earth shook, and quaked; The foundations of the heavens trembled And shook because he was wroth. 9There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals burned forth from it.
