4 The ropes of death came around me;the deadly rivers overwhelmed me.
5 The ropes of death wrapped around me.The traps of death were before me.
6 In my trouble I called to the Lord.I cried out to my God for help.From his temple he heard my voice;my call for help reached his ears.
7 The earth trembled and shook.The foundations of the mountains began to shake.They trembled because the Lord was angry.
8 Smoke came out of his nose,and burning fire came out of his mouth.Burning coals went before him.
9 He tore open the sky and came downwith dark clouds under his feet.
10 He rode a creature with wings and flew.He raced on the wings of the wind.
