Psalms 18:7-15

7Then the 1earth shook and quaked; And the 2foundations of the mountains were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.8Smoke went up 3out of His nostrils, And 4fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it.9He 5bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick 6darkness under His feet.10He rode upon a 7cherub and flew; And He sped upon the 8wings of the wind.11He made 9darkness His hiding place, 10His 11canopy around Him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.12From the 12brightness before Him passed His thick clouds, Hailstones and 13coals of fire.13The Lord also 14thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.14He 15sent out His arrows, and scattered them, And lightning flashes in abundance, and 16routed them.15Then the 17channels of water appeared, And the foundations of the world were 18laid bare At Your 19rebuke, O Lord, At the blast of the 20breath of Your nostrils.
