Psalms 18:4

Psalms 18:4

2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my¹ strength, ^ain whom I will trust;
My shield and the¹ horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

3 I will call upon the Lord, ^awho is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.

4 ^aThe pangs of death surrounded me,
And the floods of¹ ungodliness made me afraid.

5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.

7 ^aThen the earth shook and trembled;
The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.

8 Smoke went up from His nostrils,
And devouring fire from His mouth;
Coals were kindled by it.

Death - Dangerous and deadly troubles. Floods - Their multitude, and strength, and violent assaults, breaking in upon me like a flood.
