3 Adonai is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in Him I take refuge, my shield, my horn of salvation, my stronghold.
4 I called upon Adonai, worthy of praise, and I was rescued from my enemies.
5 Cords of death entangled me. Torrents of Belial overwhelmed me.
6 Cords of Sheol coiled around me. Snares of death came before me.
7 In my distress I called on Adonai, and cried to my God for help. From His Temple He heard my voice, my cry before Him came into His ears.
8 Then the earth rocked and quaked. The foundations of mountains trembled. They reeled because He was angry.
9 Smoke rose from His nostrils and consuming fire from His mouth. Coals blazed from Him.
