Context of 2 Samuel 22:7
5The waves of death engulfed me; the currents of chaos overwhelmed me. 6The ropes of Sheol tightened around me; the snares of death trapped me. In my distress I called to the Lord; I called to my God. From his heavenly temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help. 8The earth heaved and shook; the foundations of the sky trembled. They heaved because he was angry. 9Smoke ascended from his nose; fire devoured as it came from his mouth; he hurled down fiery coals.
