Context of 2 Samuel 22:8
6The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; 7In my distress I called upon Yhwh, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth. 9There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 10He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
