Psalms 18:7-15

7Then the earth shook and quaked. Even the foundations of the mountains trembled. They shook violently because he was angry.

8Smoke went up from his nostrils, and a raging fire came out of his mouth. Glowing coals flared up from it.

9He spread apart the heavens and came down with a dark cloud under his feet.

10He rode on one of the angels  as he flew, and he soared on the wings of the wind.

11He made the darkness his hiding place, the dark rain clouds his covering.

12Out of the brightness in front of him, those rain clouds passed by with hailstones and lightning.

13The Lord thundered in the heavens. The Most High made his voice heard with hailstones and lightning.

14He shot his arrows and scattered them. He flashed streaks of lightning and threw them into confusion.

15Then the ocean floor could be seen. The foundations of the earth were laid bare at your stern warning, O Lord, at the blast of the breath from your nostrils.
