Praise the Lord ! ⁵ The waves of death were all around me; the waves of destruction rolled over me. ⁶ The danger of death was around me, and the grave set its trap for me. ⁷ In my trouble I called to the Lord ; I called to my God for help. In his temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help. ⁸ Then the earth trembled and shook; the foundations of the sky rocked and quivered because God was angry! ⁹ Smoke poured out of his nostrils, a consuming flame and burning coals from his mouth. ¹⁰ He tore the sky open and came down, with a dark cloud under his feet. ¹¹ He flew swiftly on his winged creature; he traveled on the wings of the wind.
