5 For the breaker waves of death engulfed me; the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.
6 The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
7 In my distress I called upon Yahweh, and to my God I called. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help was to his ears.
8 The earth heaved and shook, the foundations of heaven trembled and heaved because he was angry.
9 Smoke went up from his nostrils and fire from his mouth. Burning coals devoured, they burned from him.
10 He bowed the heavens and came down; a very thick cloud was under his feet.
11 He rode upon a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind.
