6 The cords of the grave coiled around me;the snares of death confronted me.
7 ‘In my distress I called to the Lord;I called out to my God.From his temple he heard my voice;my cry came to his ears.
8 The earth trembled and quaked,the foundations of the heavens shook;they trembled because he was angry.
9 Smoke rose from his nostrils;consuming fire came from his mouth,burning coals blazed out of it.
10 He parted the heavens and came down;dark clouds were under his feet.
11 He mounted the cherubim and flew;he soared on the wings of the wind.
12 He made darkness his canopy around him –the dark rain clouds of the sky.
