2 The Lord is my pillar, and my fortress, and my deliverer;my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,and I will be saved from my enemies.
4 The cords of death encircled me,and the torrents of destruction terrified me.
5 The cords of Sheol surrounded me;the snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called on the Lord,and cried for help to my God;He heard my voice from His temple,and my cry for help came before Him to His ears.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked;the foundations of the hills also moved;they reeled because His anger burned.
8 Smoke went up out of His nostrils,and fire from His mouth devoured;coals were kindled by it.
