Psalms 18:8-18

⁸Smoke went up from out of his nostrils, and blazing fire came out of his mouth. Coals were ignited by it.

⁹He opened the heavens and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.

¹⁰He rode on a cherub and flew; he glided on the wings of the wind.

¹¹He made darkness a tent around him, heavy rainclouds in the skies.

¹²Hailstones and coals of fire fell from the lightning before him.

¹³Yahweh thundered in the heavens! The voice of the Most High shouted.

¹⁴He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; many lightning bolts dispersed them.

¹⁵Then the water channels appeared; the foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

¹⁶He reached down from above; he took hold of me! He pulled me out of the surging water.

¹⁷He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.

¹⁸They came against me on the day of my distress but Yahweh was my support!
