Psalm 18:7–19

⁷Then the earth ^treeled and rocked;

the foundations also of the mountains trembled

and quaked, because he was angry.

⁸Smoke went up from his nostrils,²

and devouring ^ufire from his mouth;

glowing coals flamed forth from him.

⁹He ^vbowed the heavens and ^wcame down;

^xthick darkness was under his feet.

¹⁰He rode on a cherub and flew;

he came swiftly on ^zthe wings of the wind.

¹¹He made darkness his covering, his ^acanopy around him,

thick clouds ^bdark with water.

¹²Out of the brightness before him

^chailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.

¹³The Lord also ^dthundered in the heavens,

and the Most High uttered his ^evoice,

hailstones and coals of fire.

¹⁴And he sent out his ^farrows and scattered them;

he flashed forth lightnings and ^grouted them.

¹⁵Then ^hthe channels of the sea were seen,

and the foundations of the world were laid bare

at your ⁱrebuke, O Lord,

at the blast of ^jthe breath of your nostrils.

¹⁶He ^ksent from on high, he took me;

he ^ldrew me out of ^mmany waters.

¹⁷He rescued me from my strong enemy

and from those who hated me,

for they were ⁿtoo mighty for me.

¹⁸They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

but the Lord was my support.

¹⁹He brought me out into ^oa broad place;

he rescued me, because he ^pdelighted in me.
