Psalms 18:3-9

³I called upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And was delivered from my enemies.

⁴The snares of death encompassed me; The floods of destruction filled me with dismay;

⁵The snares of the underworld surrounded me, And the nets of death seized upon me.

⁶In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried unto my God; He heard my voice from his palace, And my cry came before him into his ears.

⁷Then the earth quaked and trembled; The foundations of the mountains rocked and were shaken, Because his wrath was kindled.

⁸A smoke went up from his nostrils, And fire from his mouth devoured; Burning coals shot forth from him.

⁹He bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet;
