Psalms 18:7-17

7Then the earthH776 shookH1607 and quakedH7493, and the foundationsH4144 of the mountainsH2022 trembledH7264; they were shakenH1607 becauseH3588 He burned with angerH2734.8SmokeH6227 roseH5927 from His nostrilsH639, and consumingH398 fireH784 came fromH4480 His mouthH6310; glowing coalsH1513 blazed forthH1197.9He partedH5186 the heavensH8064 and came downH3381 with dark cloudsH6205 beneathH8478 His feetH7272.10He mountedH7392 H5921 a cherubH3742 and flewH5774; He soaredH1675 onH5921 the wingsH3671 of the windH7307.11He madeH7896 darknessH2822 His hiding placeH5643, and stormH4325 cloudsH5645 a canopyH5521 H2824 around HimH5439.12From the brightnessH5051 of His presenceH5048 His cloudsH5645 advancedH5674— hailstonesH1259 and coalsH1513 of fireH784.1

13The LORDH3068 thunderedH7481 from heavenH8064;the voiceH6963 of the Most HighH5945 resoundedH5414—hailstonesH1259 and coalsH1513 of fireH784.214He shotH7971 His arrowsH2671 and scatteredH6327 the foes;He hurledH7232 lightningH1300 and routed themH2000.15The channelsH650 of the seaH4325 appearedH7200,and the foundationsH4146 of the worldH8398 were exposedH1540,at Your rebukeH1606, O LORDH3068,at the blastH5397 of the breathH7307 of Your nostrilsH639.

16He reached downH7971 from on highH4791 and took hold of meH3947;He drew meH4871 out of deepH7227 watersH4325.17He rescued meH5337 from my powerfulH5794 enemyH341,from foesH8130 too mightyH553 for meH4480.
