Contextual Overview

2and he says: "YHWH [is] my rock, || And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me, 3My God [is] my rock—I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, || My high tower, and my refuge! My Savior, You save me from violence! 4I call on YHWH, [who is worthy] to be praised: And I am saved from my enemies. 5When the breakers of death surrounded me, || The streams of the worthless terrify me, 6The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, || The snares of death have been before me. 7In my adversity I call on YHWH, || And I call to my God, || And He hears my voice from His temple, || And my cry [is] in His ears, 8And the earth shakes and trembles, || Foundations of the heavens are troubled, || And are shaken, for He has wrath! 9Smoke has gone up by His nostrils, || And fire devours from His mouth; Brands have been kindled by it. 10And He inclines the heavens and comes down, || And thick darkness [is] under His feet. 11And He rides on a cherub and flies, || And is seen on the wings of the wind.
