Context of 2 Samuel 22:9
7In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears. 8Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger. Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth. 10He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet. 11He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
