Psalms 18:6-14

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

7Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked, because he was angry.

8Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him.

9He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet.

10He rode on a cherub and flew; he came swiftly on the wings of the wind.

11He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water.

12Out of the brightness before him hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.

13The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.

14And he sent out his arrows and scattered them; he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.
