2 And he sayd, The Lord is my rocke and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth mee. 3 God is my strength, in him will I trust: my shielde, and the horne of my saluation, my hie tower and my refuge: my Sauiour, thou hast saued me from violence. 4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies. 5 For the pangs of death haue compassed me: the floods of vngodlinesse haue made mee afrayd. 6 The sorowes of the graue compassed mee about: the snares of death ouertooke mee. 7 But in my tribulation did I call vpon the Lord, and crie to my God, and he did heare my voyce out of his temple, and my crie did enter into his eares. 8 Then the earth trembled and quaked: the foundations of the heauens mooued and shooke, because he was angrie. 9 Smoke went out at his nostrels, and consuming fire out of his mouth: coles were kindled thereat. 10 He bowed the heauens also, and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete. 11 And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, & hee was seene vpon the winges of the winde.
