Psalm 18:7–19

⁷Then the earth shook and quaked;

the foundations of the mountains trembled; ^c

they shook because He burned with anger.

⁸Smoke rose from His nostrils,

and consuming fire came from His mouth;

coals were set ablaze by it. ^de

⁹He parted the heavens and came down, ^f

a dark cloud beneath His feet.

¹⁰He rode on a cherub and flew,

soaring on the wings of the wind. ^g

¹¹He made darkness His hiding place,

dark storm clouds His canopy around Him. ^h

¹²From the radiance of His presence, ⁱ

His clouds swept onward with hail and blazing coals.

¹³The Lord thundered from ^jheaven;

the Most High projected His voice. ^kl

¹⁴He shot His arrows and scattered them;

He hurled ^mlightning bolts and routed them. ⁿ

¹⁵The depths of the sea became visible,

the foundations of the world were exposed,

at Your rebuke, Lord,

at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils. ^o

¹⁶He reached down from heaven

and took hold of me;

He pulled me out of deep waters. ^p

¹⁷He rescued me from my powerful enemy

and from those who hated me,

for they were too strong for me. ^q

¹⁸They confronted me in the day of my distress,

but the Lord was my support. ^r

¹⁹He brought me out to a spacious place; ^s

He rescued me because He delighted in me. ^t
