Psalm 18:4-7

English Standard Version

⁴^(A)The cords of death encompassed me;
^(B)the torrents of destruction assailed me;^[a]
⁵^(C)the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.

⁶^(D)In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his ^(E)temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.

⁷Then the earth ^(F)reeled and rocked;
the foundations also of the mountains trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
