Contextual Overview

2 And he saide: The Lorde is my rocke, and my castell, and my delyuerer. 3 God is my strength, in him will I trust: he is my shielde, and the horne of my saluation, my hie towre, and my refuge, my sauiour, thou hast saued me from wrong. 4 I will call on the Lorde which is prayse worthy: and so shall I be saued from myne enemies. 5 For the panges of death closed me about: the fludes of Belial put me in feare. 6 The sorowes of hell compassed me about, the snares of death ouertoke me. 7 In my tribulation did I call vppon the Lorde, and crye to my God: and he dyd heare my voyce out of his temple, and my crye [did enter] into his eares. 8 The earth trembled and quaked: the foundations of heauen moued & shooke when he was angry. 9 Smoke went out at his nosthryls, & consuming fyre out of his mouth: coles were kindled thereat. 10 And he bowed heauen & came downe: and there was darkenesse vnder his feete. 11 And he rode vpon Cherub and did flee: he was seene vppon the winges of the winde.
