8There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: flames were lighted by it.
9The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.
10And he went in flight through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind.
11He made the dark his secret place; his tent round him was the dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and fire.
13The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out: a rain of ice and fire.
14He sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.
15Then the deep beds of the waters were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of your words of wrath, O Lord, because of the breath from your mouth.
16He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.
17He made me free from my strong hater, and from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.
18They came on me in the day of my trouble; but the Lord was my support.
19He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.
20The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.
21For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.
22For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.
23And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin.
24Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.
