8 Then the earth shook and quaked;

the foundations of the heavens* trembled;m

they shook because he burned with anger.n

9 Smoke rose from his nostrils,

and consuming fire came from his mouth;

coals were set ablaze by it.F

10 He bent the heavens and came down,o

total darkness beneath his feet.

11 He rode on a cherub and flew,

soaringG on the wings of the wind.

12 He made darkness a canopy around him,

a gatheringH of water and thick clouds.p

13 From the radiance of his presence,

blazing coals were ignited.

14 The Lord thundered from heaven;

the Most High made his voice heard.q

15 He shot arrows and scattered them;r

he hurled lightning bolts and routed them.s

16 The depths of the sea became visible,

the foundations of the world were exposed

at the rebuke of the Lord,

at the blast of the breatht of his nostrils.u
