5 When the waves of death encompassedme,the currents of destruction made me afraid.
6 The ropes of Sheol were wrapped aroundme;the snares of death were opposite me.
7 In my distress I called on the Lord,and cried out to my God;from His temple He heard my voice.My cry reached His ears.
8 Then the earth quaked and trembled;the foundations of the heavens rumbled and shook,because He was angry.
9 Smoke rose from His nostrils,devouring fire from His mouth;coals blazed forth from Him.
10 He bowed the heaven as He came down,with thick darkness under His feet.
11 He rode upon a cherub as He flew,and appeared upon the wings of the wind.
