You save me from violence! ⁴ I called to the Lord , who is worthy of praise, and I was delivered from my enemies. ⁵ The waves of death engulfed me; the currents of chaos overwhelmed me. ⁶ The ropes of Sheol tightened around me; the snares of death trapped me. ⁷ In my distress I called to the Lord ; I called to my God. From his heavenly temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help. ⁸ The earth heaved and shook; the foundations of the sky trembled. They heaved because he was angry. ⁹ Smoke ascended from his nose; fire devoured as it came from his mouth; he hurled down fiery coals. ¹⁰ He made the sky sink as he descended; a thick cloud was under his feet. ¹¹ He mounted a winged angel and flew; he glided on the wings of the wind.
