Psalms 18:4-10 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. The cords of death encircled me,and the torrents of destruction terrified me.

5. The cords of Sheol surrounded me;the snares of death confronted me.

6. In my distress I called on the Lord,and cried for help to my God;He heard my voice from His temple,and my cry for help came before Him to His ears.

7. Then the earth shook and quaked;the foundations of the hills also moved;they reeled because His anger burned.

8. Smoke went up out of His nostrils,and fire from His mouth devoured;coals were kindled by it.

9. He bent the heavens and came down,and darkness was under His feet.

10. He rode on a cherub, and flew;He flew swiftly on the wings of the wind.
