Psalm 18:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 The cords[a] of Sheol encircled me;
the snares of death lay in wait for me.(A)
7 In my distress I called out: Lord!
I cried out to my God.(B)
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry to him reached his ears.
8 [b]The earth rocked and shook;
the foundations of the mountains trembled;
they shook as his wrath flared up.(C)
Footnotes
- 18:6 Cords: hunting imagery, the cords of a snare.
- 18:8–16 God appears in the storm, which in Palestine comes from the west. The introduction to the theophany (Ps 18:8–9) is probably a description of a violent, hot, and dry east-wind storm. In the fall transition period from the rainless summer to the rainy winter such storms regularly precede the rains, cf. Ex 14:21–22.
