Psalm 18:6–14

6  ddIn my distress I called upon the Lord,

And cried unto my God:

He heard my voice out of his temple,

And my cry came before him, even into his ears.

7  Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations also eof the hills moved

And were shaken, because he was wroth.

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

And ffire out of his mouth devoured:

Coals were kindled by it.

9  He bowed the heavens also, and came down:

And darkness was under his feet.

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

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

11  He made darkness his secret place;

His pavilion round about him

Were hdark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

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

iHail stones and coals of fire.

13  The Lord also thundered in the heavens,

And the Highest gave his voice;

iHail stones and coals of fire.

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

And he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
