5 The waves of death had surrounded me.The torrents of destruction had overwhelmed me.
6 The ropes of the grave had surrounded me.The clutches of death had confronted me.
7 I called on the Lord in my distress.I called to my God for help.He heard my voice from his temple,and my cry for help reached his ears.
8 Then the earth shook and quaked.Even the foundations of the heavens trembled.They shook violently because he was angry.
9 Smoke went up from his nostrils,and a raging fire came out of his mouth.Glowing coals flared up from it.
10 He spread apart the heavensand came down with a dark cloud under his feet.
11 He rode on one of the angels as he flew,and he soared on the wings of the wind.
