Psalms 18:4-19

4The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.5The bands of Sheol surroundedH661 me, the cordsH2256 of deathH4194 encountered me.6In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my 1God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.7Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burnedH2734 forth from it.9And he bowed the heavens, and cameH5927 down; and darkness was under his feet.10And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.11He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.12From the brightness before him his thick cloudsH5645 passed forth: hail and coals of fire.13And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hailH1259 and coalsH1513 of fireH784.14And he sent his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.15And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.16He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great watersH4325:17He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.18They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.19And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
