Contextual Overview

2 And he said: Jehovah is my rock and my fortress, and my Deliverer. 3 My God is my rock; I shall take refuge in Him; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge! My Savior, You shall save me from violence. 4 I call on Jehovah, the One to be praised; and I shall be saved from my enemies. 5 When the waves of death surround me, the floods of the ungodly terrify me, 6 the cords of Sheol are all around me, the snares of death confronted me. 7 In my distress I called on Jehovah, and I called to my God. And He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry was in His ears. 8 And the earth shook and trembled, the foundations of the heavens were troubled, and were shaken; for He was angry. 9 Smoke rose up in His nostrils, and fire devoured out of His mouth; coals were kindled by it. 10 And He bowed the heavens and came down, and thick darkness was under His feet. 11 And He rode on a cherub, and did fly, and was seen on the wings of the wind.
