2 Samuel 22:3-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
3 My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence. 4I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies. 5For the waves of death encompassed me; The floods of destruction terrified me; 6The ropes of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. 7In my distress I called upon the Lord, Yes, I called out to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears. 8Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of heaven were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry. 9Smoke went up out of His nostrils, And fire from His mouth was devouring; Coals were kindled by it. 10He also bowed the heavens down low, and came down With thick darkness under His feet.King James Version
Chapter 22
3The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. 4I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 5When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; 6The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; 7In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears. 8Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth. 9There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 10He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
3my God, my rock where I seek refuge. My shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, you save me from violence. 4I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies. 5For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of destruction terrified me.
6The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
7I called to the Lord in my distress; I called to my God. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry for help reached his ears.
8Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they shook because he burned with anger.
9Smoke rose from his nostrils, and consuming fire came from his mouth; coals were set ablaze by it.
10He bent the heavens and came down, total darkness beneath his feet.

Chapter 22
3my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior-- from violent people you save me. 4I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies. 5The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
6The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.
7In my distress I called to the LORD; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears.
8The earth trembled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens shook; they trembled because he was angry.
9Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.
10He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.
