Psalms 18:4-11
4The 1ropes of death encompassed me, And the 2torrents of 3destruction 4terrified me.5The 5ropes of 6Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.6In my 7distress I called upon the Lord, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice 8from His temple, And my 9cry for help before Him came into His ears.
7Then the 10earth shook and quaked; And the 11foundations of the mountains were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.8Smoke went up 12out of His nostrils, And 13fire from His mouth was devouring; Coals burned from it.9He also 14bowed the heavens down low, and came down With thick 15darkness under His feet.10He rode on a 16cherub and flew; And He sped on the 17wings of the wind.11He made 18darkness His hiding place, 19His 20canopy around Him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds.
