Psalms 18:2-14

²(18-3) The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.

³(18-4) Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.

⁴(18-5) The cords of Death compassed me, and the floods of Belial assailed me.

⁵(18-6) The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me.

⁶(18-7) In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto His ears.

⁷(18-8) Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations also of the mountains did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.

⁸(18-9) Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.

⁹(18-10) He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.

¹⁰(18-11) And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He did swoop down upon the wings of the wind.

¹¹(18-12) He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

¹²(18-13) At the brightness before Him, there passed through His thick clouds hailstones and coals of fire.

¹³(18-14) The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.

¹⁴(18-15) And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
