Contextual Overview

² The Lord is my Rock, my fortress, my place of safety. ³ He is my God, the Rock I run to for protection. He is my shield; by his power I am saved. He is my hiding place, my place of safety, high in the hills. He is my savior, the one who rescues me from the cruel enemy. ⁴ I called to the Lord for help, and he saved me from my enemies. He is worthy of my praise! ⁵ Waves of death were crashing around me. A deadly flood was carrying me away. ⁶ The ropes of the grave wrapped around me. Death set its trap right there in front of me. ⁷ In my trouble I called to the Lord . Yes, I cried out to my God for help. There in his temple he heard my voice. He heard my cry for help. ⁸ The earth shook and shivered. The foundations of heaven trembled. They shook because he was angry! ⁹ Smoke came from his nose. Burning flames came from his mouth. Red-hot coals fell from him. ¹⁰ He tore open the sky and came down. He stood on a thick, dark cloud. ¹¹ He flew across the sky, riding on a Cherub angel, gliding on the wings of the wind.
