Context of 2 Samuel 22:8
6The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. 7In my distress I called upon the Lord, Yes, I cried to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears. Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of heaven were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry. 9Smoke went up out of His nostrils, Fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it. 10He bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick darkness under His feet.
