Contextual Overview

2 The Lord is my protector; he is my strong fortress. 3 My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe. He is my savior; he protects me and saves me from violence. 4 I call to the Lord , and he saves me from my enemies. 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.
