Psalms 18:5
“The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.”
I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
