Psalms 18:6-14

6I called to the Lord in my distress, and I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.

7Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the mountains trembled; they shook because he burned with anger.

8Smoke rose from his nostrils, and consuming fire came from his mouth; coals were set ablaze by it.

9He bent the heavens and came down, total darkness beneath his feet.

10He rode on a cherub and flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.

11He made darkness his hiding place, dark storm clouds his canopy around him.

12From the radiance of his presence, his clouds swept onward with hail and blazing coals.

13The Lord thundered from heaven; the Most High made his voice heard.

14He shot his arrows and scattered them; he hurled lightning bolts and routed them.
