4 The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me;
5 the cords of Sheol entangled me;the snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord;to my God I cried for help.From his temple he heard my voice,and my cry to him reached his ears.
7 Then the earth reeled and rocked;the foundations also of the mountains trembledand quaked, because he was angry.
8 Smoke went up from his nostrils,and devouring fire from his mouth;glowing coals flamed forth from him.
9 He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet.
10 He rode on a cherub and flew;he came swiftly on the wings of the wind.
