2 Samuel 22:8–20

⁸“Then ⁿthe earth reeled and rocked;

^othe foundations of the heavens trembled

and quaked, because he was angry.

⁹Smoke went up from his nostrils,³

and devouring fire from his mouth;

^pglowing coals flamed forth from him.

^10qHe bowed the heavens and ^rcame down;

^sthick darkness was under his feet.

¹¹He rode on a cherub and flew;

he was seen on ^tthe wings of the wind.

¹²He made ^sdarkness around him ^uhis canopy,

thick clouds, a gathering of water.

¹³Out of the brightness before him

^vcoals of fire flamed forth.

^14wThe Lord thundered from heaven,

and the Most High uttered his voice.

¹⁵And he sent out ^xarrows and scattered them;

lightning, and routed them.

¹⁶Then the channels of the sea were seen;

the foundations of the world were laid bare,

at the rebuke of the Lord,

at the ^yblast of the breath of his nostrils.

^17z“He sent from on high, he took me;

he drew me out of many waters.

¹⁸He rescued me from my strong enemy,

from those who hated me,

for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁹They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

but the Lord was my support.

^20aHe brought me out into a broad place;

he rescued me, because ^bhe delighted in me.
