Psalms 18:4-11

4The sorrowsH2256 of deathH4194 compassedH661 me, and the floodsH5158 of ungodly menH1100 made me afraidH1204.1

5The sorrowsH2256 of hellH7585 compassed me aboutH5437: the snaresH4170 of deathH4194 preventedH6923 me.2

6In my distressH6862 I calledH7121 upon YhwhH3068, and criedH7768 unto my GodH430: he heardH8085 my voiceH6963 out of his templeH1964, and my cryH7775 cameH935 beforeH6440 him, even into his earsH241.

7Then the earthH776 shookH1607 and trembledH7493; the foundationsH4146 also of the hillsH2022 movedH7264 and were shakenH1607, because he was wrothH2734.

8There went upH5927 a smokeH6227 out of his nostrilsH639, and fireH784 out of his mouthH6310 devouredH398: coalsH1513 were kindledH1197 by it.3

9He bowedH5186 the heavensH8064 also, and came downH3381: and darknessH6205 was under his feetH7272.

10And he rodeH7392 upon a cherubH3742, and did flyH5774: yea, he did flyH1675 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307.

11He madeH7896 darknessH2822 his secret placeH5643; his pavilionH5521 round aboutH5439 him were darkH2824 watersH4325 and thick cloudsH5645 of the skiesH7834.
