Psalms 18:6-14

6In my distress [when I seemed surrounded] I called upon the Lord And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry for help came before Him, into His very ears.

7Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of the mountains trembled; They were shaken because He was indignant and angry.

8Smoke went up from His nostrils, And fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it.

9He bowed the heavens also and came down; And thick darkness was under His feet.

10And He rode upon a cherub (storm) and flew; And He sped on the wings of the wind.

11He made darkness His hiding place (covering); His pavilion (canopy) around Him, The darkness of the waters, the thick clouds of the skies.

12Out of the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds, Hailstones and coals of fire.

13The Lord also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.

14He sent out His arrows and scattered them; And He sent an abundance of lightning flashes and confused and routed them [in defeat].
