Psalm 18:12–19

12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,

with hailstones and bolts of lightning.

13 The Lord thundered from heaven;

the voice of the Most High resounded.

14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,

with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

15 The valleys of the sea were exposed

and the foundations of the earth laid bare

at your rebuke, Lord,

at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me;

he drew me out of deep waters.

17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,

from my foes, who were too strong for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,

but the Lord was my support.

19 He brought me out into a spacious place;

he rescued me because he delighted in me.

12 Out of the brightness before him

hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.

13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens,

and the Most High uttered his voice,

hailstones and coals of fire.

14 And he sent out his arrows and scattered them;

he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.

15 Then the channels of the sea were seen,

and the foundations of the world were laid bare

at your rebuke, O Lord,

at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

16 He sent from on high, he took me;

he drew me out of many waters.

17 He rescued me from my strong enemy

and from those who hated me,

for they were too mighty for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

but the Lord was my support.

19 He brought me out into a broad place;

he rescued me, because he delighted in me.

12 Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him

and rained down hail and burning coals.

13 The Lord thundered from heaven;

the voice of the Most High resounded

amid the hail and burning coals.

14 He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies;

great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.

15 Then at your command, O Lord,

at the blast of your breath,

the bottom of the sea could be seen,

and the foundations of the earth were laid bare.

16 He reached down from heaven and rescued me;

he drew me out of deep waters.

17 He rescued me from my powerful enemies,

from those who hated me and were too strong for me.

18 They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress,

but the Lord supported me.

19 He led me to a place of safety;

he rescued me because he delights in me.

12 From the brightness before Him,

His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.

13 The Lord thundered from heaven,

And the Most High uttered His voice,

Hailstones and coals of fire.

14 He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe,

Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.

15 Then the channels of the sea were seen,

The foundations of the world were uncovered

At Your rebuke, O Lord,

At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

16 He sent from above, He took me;

He drew me out of many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,

From those who hated me,

For they were too strong for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

But the Lord was my support.

19 He also brought me out into a broad place;

He delivered me because He delighted in me.

12 Out of the brightness of his presence came clouds

with hail and lightning.

13 The Lord thundered from heaven;

the Most High raised his voice,

and there was hail and lightning.

14 He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies.

His many bolts of lightning confused them with fear.

15 Lord, you spoke strongly.

The wind blew from your nose.

Then the valleys of the sea appeared,

and the foundations of the earth were seen.

16 The Lord reached down from above and took me;

he pulled me from the deep water.

17 He saved me from my powerful enemies,

from those who hated me, because they were too strong for me.

18 They attacked me at my time of trouble,

but the Lord supported me.

19 He took me to a safe place.

Because he delights in me, he saved me.

12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed,

Hailstones and coals of fire.

13 Jehovah also thundered in the heavens,

And the Most High uttered his voice,

Hailstones and coals of fire.

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

Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.

15 Then the channels of waters appeared,

And the foundations of the world were laid bare,

At thy rebuke, O Jehovah,

At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

16 He sent from on high, he took me;

He drew me out of many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,

And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

18 They came upon me in the day of my calamity;

But Jehovah was my stay.

19 He brought me forth also into a large place;

He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire. 13 And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire. 14 And he sent his arrows, and scattered mine enemies; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them. 15 And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 16 He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters: 17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I. 18 They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay. 19 And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

12 Out of the brightness in front of him, 

those rain clouds passed by with hailstones and lightning. 

13 The Lord thundered in the heavens. 

The Most High made his voice heard with hailstones and lightning. 

14 He shot his arrows and scattered them. 

He flashed streaks of lightning and threw them into confusion. 

15 Then the ocean floor could be seen. 

The foundations of the earth were laid bare 

at your stern warning, O Lord, 

at the blast of the breath from your nostrils. 

16 He reached down from high above and took hold of me. 

He pulled me out of the raging water. 

17 He rescued me from my strong enemy 

and from those who hated me, 

because they were too strong for me. 

18 On the day when I faced disaster, they confronted me, 

but the Lord came to my defense. 

19 He brought me out to a wide-open place. 

He rescued me because he was pleased with me. 

12 From the radiance of His presence,

His clouds swept onward with hail and blazing coals.

13 The Lord thundered from heaven;

the Most High projected His voice.

14 He shot His arrows and scattered them;

He hurled lightning bolts and routed them.

15 The 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.

16 He reached down from heaven

and took hold of me;

He pulled me out of deep waters.

17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy

and from those who hated me,

for they were too strong for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my distress,

but the Lord was my support.

19 He brought me out to a spacious place;

He rescued me because He delighted in me.

12 Out of the brightness before him

there broke through his clouds

hailstones and coals of fire.

13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens,

and the Most High uttered his voice.

14 And he sent out his arrows and scattered them;

he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.

15 Then the channels of the sea were seen,

and the foundations of the world were laid bare

at your rebuke, O Lord,

at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

16 He reached down from on high; he took me;

he drew me out of mighty waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy

and from those who hated me,

for they were too mighty for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

but the Lord was my support.

19 He brought me out into a broad place;

he delivered me because he delighted in me.

12 From the brightness before him

his clouds passed over

with hail and coals of fire.

13 And Yahweh thundered from the heavens,

and the Most High uttered his voice

with hail and coals of fire.

14 And he shot his arrows and scattered them,

and many lightning bolts and routed them.

15 Then the channels of the sea became visible,

and the foundations of the world were uncovered

by your rebuke, O Yahweh,

by the blast of the wind of your nose.

16 He reached from on high; he seized me.

He drew me from many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,

and from those who hated me

because they were stronger than I.

18 They confronted me on the day of disaster,

but Yahweh was my support.

19 So he brought me out to a spacious place.

He delivered me because he delighted in me.

12 Clouds came out of the brightness that was all around him.

They came with hailstones and flashes of lightning.

13 The Lord thundered from heaven.

The voice of the Most High God was heard.

14 He shot his arrows and scattered our enemies.

He sent great flashes of lightning and chased the enemies away.

15 The bottom of the sea could be seen.

The foundations of the earth were uncovered.

Lord, it happened when your anger blazed out.

It came like a blast of breath from your nose.

16 He reached down from heaven. He took hold of me.

He lifted me out of deep waters.

17 He saved me from my powerful enemies.

He set me free from those who were too strong for me.

18 They stood up to me when I was in trouble.

But the Lord helped me.

19 He brought me out into a wide and safe place.

He saved me because he was pleased with me.

12 From the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds,

Hailstones and coals of fire.

13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens,

And the Most High uttered His voice,

Hailstones and coals of fire.

14 He sent out His arrows, and scattered them,

And lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them.

15 Then the channels of water appeared,

And the foundations of the world were laid bare

At Your rebuke, O Lord,

At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

16 He sent from on high, He took me;

He drew me out of many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,

And from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

But the Lord was my stay.

19 He brought me forth also into a broad place;

He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
