Contextual Overview

2 and he said, Yahweh is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine; 3 God, my rock, in him I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My savior, you save me from violence. 4 I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: So I shall be saved from my enemies. 5 For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid: 6 The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came on me. 7 In my distress I called on Yahweh; Yes, I called to my God: And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears. 8 Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked And were shaken, because he was angry. 9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it. 10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet. 11 And he rode on a cherub, and flew; Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.
