# General Information:
David's song to Yahweh continues. He uses parallelism to emphasize what he is saying. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
# Then the earth shook
This is Yahweh's response to David's cry for help from his enemies ([1 Samuel 22:7](./07.md)). David uses the imagery of the earth shaking to emphasize Yahweh's terrible anger. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# earth shook ... heavens trembled
David speaks of the two extremes to include everything in creation. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-merism]])
# and were shaken, because God was angry
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "because God's anger shook them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
