Contextual Overview

2 He said, "The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; 3 My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence. 4 "I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies. 5 "For the waves of death encompassed me; The floods of destruction terrified me; 6 The ropes of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. 7 "In my distress I called upon the LORD, Yes, I called out to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears. 8 "Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of heaven were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry. 9 "Smoke went up out of His nostrils, And fire from His mouth was devouring; Coals were kindled by it. 10 "He also bowed the heavens down low, and came down With thick darkness under His feet. 11 "He rode on a cherub and flew; He appeared on the wings of the wind.
