In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

He rode on a cherub and flew;

he came swiftly on the wings of the wind.

He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him,

thick clouds dark with water.

Out of the brightness before him

hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens,

and the Most High uttered his voice,

hailstones and coals of fire.

And he sent out his arrows and scattered them;

he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.

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.

He sent from on high, he took me;

he drew me out of many waters.

He rescued me from my strong enemy

and from those who hated me,

for they were too mighty for me.

They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

but the Lord was my support.

He brought me out into a broad place;

he rescued me, because he delighted in me.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He rode on a cherub and flew,

soaring on the wings of the wind.

He made darkness his hiding place,

dark storm clouds his canopy around him.

From the radiance of his presence,

his clouds swept onward with hail and blazing coals.

The Lord thundered from heaven;

the Most High made his voice heard.

He shot his arrows and scattered them;

he hurled lightning bolts and routed them.

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.

He reached down from on high

and took hold of me;

he pulled me out of deep water.

He rescued me from my powerful enemy

and from those who hated me,

for they were too strong for me.

They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

but the Lord was my support.

He brought me out to a spacious place;

he rescued me because he delighted in me.

NLTNew Living Translation

Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew,

soaring on the wings of the wind.

He shrouded himself in darkness,

veiling his approach with dark rain clouds.

Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him

and rained down hail and burning coals.

The Lord thundered from heaven;

the voice of the Most High resounded

amid the hail and burning coals.

He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies;

great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.

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.

He reached down from heaven and rescued me;

he drew me out of deep waters.

He rescued me from my powerful enemies,

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

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

but the Lord supported me.

He led me to a place of safety;

he rescued me because he delights in me.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And he mounted a cherub and flew,

and he swooped down on wings of wind.

He made darkness his hiding place;

all about him his covering

was a darkness of waters, thick clouds.

From the brightness before him

his clouds passed over

with hail and coals of fire.

And Yahweh thundered from the heavens,

and the Most High uttered his voice

with hail and coals of fire.

And he shot his arrows and scattered them,

and many lightning bolts and routed them.

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.

He reached from on high; he seized me.

He drew me from many waters.

He delivered me from my strong enemy,

and from those who hated me

because they were stronger than I.

They confronted me on the day of disaster,

but Yahweh was my support.

So he brought me out to a spacious place.

He delivered me because he delighted in me.

KJV 1900King James Version

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly:

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

He made darkness his secret place;

His pavilion round about him

Were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

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

Hail stones and coals of fire.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens,

And the Highest gave his voice;

Hail stones and coals of fire.

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

And he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

Then the 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.

He sent from above, he took me,

He drew me out of many waters.

He delivered me from my strong enemy,

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

They prevented me in the day of my calamity:

But the Lord was my stay.

He brought me forth also into a large place;

He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
