Psalms 18:8-16

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

16He 19sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of 20many waters.
