Contextual Overview

2 and he said: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 3 The God who is my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, Thou savest me from violence. 4 Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies. 5 For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me. 6 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me. 7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God; and out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry did enter into His ears. 8 Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth. 9 Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him. 10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet. 11 And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
