22:6 The ropes of Sheol
the snares of death trapped me.
22:7 In my distress I called to the Lord;
I called to my God.
From his heavenly temple
he listened to my cry for help.
22:8 The earth heaved and shook;
the foundations of the sky
They heaved because he was angry.
22:9 Smoke ascended from
fire devoured as it came from his mouth;
he hurled down fiery coals.
22:10 He made the sky sink
a thick cloud was under his feet.
22:11 He mounted
he glided
22:12 He shrouded himself in darkness,
in thick rain clouds.
22:13 From the brightness in front of him
came coals of fire.
22:14 The Lord thundered
the sovereign One
22:15 He shot
lightning and routed them.
22:16 The depths
the inner regions
by the Lord’s battle cry,
by the powerful breath from his nose.
22:17 He reached down from above and grabbed me;
he pulled me from the surging water.
22:18 He rescued me from my strong enemy,
from those who hate me,
for they were too strong for me.
