2 Samuel 22:8–20

⁸Then the earth reeled and rocked;

the foundations of the heavens trembled

and reeled because he was angry.^*

⁹Smoke went up from his nostrils

and devouring fire from his mouth;

glowing coals flamed forth from him.^*

¹⁰He bowed the heavens and came down;

thick darkness was under his feet.^*

¹¹He rode on a cherub and flew;

he was seen upon the wings of the wind.^*

¹²He made darkness around him a canopy,

thick clouds, a gathering of water.^*

¹³Out of the brightness before him

coals of fire flamed forth.

¹⁴The Lord thundered from heaven;

the Most High uttered his voice.^*

¹⁵He sent out arrows and scattered them,

lightning and routed them.

¹⁶Then the channels of the sea were seen;

the foundations of the world were laid bare

at the rebuke of the Lord,

at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.^*

¹⁷He reached from on high; he took me;

he drew me out of mighty waters.^*

¹⁸He delivered me from my strong enemy,

from those who hated me,

for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁹They came upon me in the day of my calamity,

but the Lord was my stay.^*

²⁰He brought me out into a broad place;

he delivered me because he delighted in me.^*
