Context of 2 Samuel 22:7
5“When the waves of death surrounded me, The floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 6The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry entered His ears. 8“Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry. 9Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it.
