2 Samuel 22:8–20

⁸“Then ^athe earth shook and quaked,

^bThe foundations of heaven were trembling

And were shaken, because He was angry.

⁹“Smoke went up ¹out of His nostrils,

^aFire from His mouth devoured;

^bCoals were kindled by it.

¹⁰“He bowed the heavens also, and came down

With ^athick darkness under His feet.

¹¹“^aAnd He rode on a cherub and flew;

And He ¹appeared on ^bthe wings of the wind.

¹²“^aAnd He made darkness ¹canopies around Him,

A mass of waters, thick clouds of the sky.

¹³“From the brightness before Him

^aCoals of fire were kindled.

¹⁴“^aThe Lord thundered from heaven,

And the Most High uttered His voice.

¹⁵“^aAnd He sent out arrows, and scattered them,

Lightning, and ¹routed them.

¹⁶“Then the channels of the sea appeared,

The foundations of the world were ¹laid bare

By the rebuke of the Lord,

^aAt the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

¹⁷“^aHe sent from on high, He took me;

^bHe drew me out of many waters.

¹⁸“He delivered me from my strong enemy,

From those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.

¹⁹“They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

^aBut the Lord was my support.

²⁰“^aHe also brought me forth into a broad place;

He rescued me, ^bbecause He delighted in me.
