Context of 2 Samuel 22:7
5"For the waves of death encompassed me, the torrents of destruction assailed me; 6the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. "In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I called. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry came to his ears. 8"Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry. 9Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him.
