Context of 2 Samuel 22:9
7I called to the Lord in my distress; I called to my God. 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 shook because he burned with anger. Smoke rose from his nostrils, and consuming fire came from his mouth; coals were set ablaze by it. 10He bent the heavens and came down, total darkness beneath his feet. 11He rode on a cherub and flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.
