Psalm 18:7–19

⁷Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations also ^eof the hills moved

And were shaken, because he was wroth.

⁸There went up a smoke ^†out of his nostrils,

And ^ffire out of his mouth devoured:

Coals were kindled by it.

⁹He bowed the heavens also, and came down:

And darkness was under his feet.

¹⁰And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly:

Yea, he did ^gfly upon the wings of the wind.

¹¹He made darkness his secret place;

His pavilion round about him

Were ^hdark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

¹²At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed,

ⁱHail stones and coals of fire.

¹³The Lord also thundered in the heavens,

And the Highest gave his voice;

ⁱHail stones and coals of fire.

¹⁴Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them;

And he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

¹⁵Then ^jthe channels of waters were seen,

And the foundations of the world were discovered

At thy rebuke, O Lord,

At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

¹⁶He sent from above, he took me,

He drew me out of ^||many waters.

¹⁷He delivered me from my strong enemy,

And from them which hated me: ^jjfor they were too strong for me.

¹⁸They ^dprevented me in the day of my calamity:

But the Lord was my stay.

¹⁹He brought me forth also into a large place;

He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
