Context of 2 Samuel 22:7
5“The waves of death overwhelmed me; floods of destruction swept over me. 6The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path. But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I cried to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached his ears. 8“Then the earth quaked and trembled. The foundations of the heavens shook; they quaked because of his anger. 9Smoke poured from his nostrils; fierce flames leaped from his mouth. Glowing coals blazed forth from him.
