6 The grave wrapped its ropes around me;death laid a trap in my path.
7 But in my distress I cried out to the lord;yes, I cried to my God for help.He heard me from his sanctuary;my cry reached his ears.
8 “Then the earth quaked and trembled.The foundations of the heavens shook;they quaked because of his anger.
9 Smoke poured from his nostrils;fierce flames leaped from his mouth.Glowing coals blazed forth from him.
10 He opened the heavens and came down;dark storm clouds were beneath his feet.
11 Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew,soaring on the wings of the wind.
12 He shrouded himself in darkness,veiling his approach with dense rain clouds.
