Psalms 18:5-17
5The 1cordsH2256 of 2SheolH7585 surroundedH5437 me; The snaresH4170 of deathH4194 confrontedH6923 me.6In my 3distressH6862 I calledH7121 upon the LordH3068, And criedH7768 to my GodH430 for helpH7768; He heardH8085 my voiceH6963 4out of His templeH1964, And my 5cryH7775 for helpH7775 beforeH6440 Him cameH935 into His earsH241.
7Then the 6earthH776 shookH1607 and quakedH7493; And the 7foundationsH4144 of the mountainsH2022 were tremblingH7264 And were shakenH1607, becauseH3588 He was angryH2734.8SmokeH6227 wentH5927 up 8out of His nostrilsH639, And 9fireH784 from His mouthH6310 devouredH398; CoalsH1513 were kindledH1197 by it.9He 10bowedH5186 the heavensH8064 also, and cameH3381 downH3381 With thickH6205 11darknessH6205 underH8478 His feetH7272.10He rodeH7392 upon a 12cherubH3742 and flewH5774; And He spedH1675 upon the 13wingsH3671 of the windH7307.11He madeH7896 14darknessH2822 His hidingH5643 placeH5643, 15His 16canopyH5521 aroundH5439 Him, DarknessH2825 of watersH4325, thickH5645 cloudsH5645 of the skiesH7834.12From the 17brightnessH5051 beforeH5048 Him passedH5674 His thickH5645 cloudsH5645, HailstonesH1259 and 18coalsH1513 of fireH784.13The LordH3068 also 19thunderedH7481 in the heavensH8064, And the MostH5945 HighH5945 utteredH5414 His voiceH6963, HailstonesH1259 and coalsH1513 of fireH784.14He 20sentH7971 out His arrowsH2671, and scatteredH6327 them, And lightningH1300 flashesH1300 in abundanceH7227, and 21routedH2000 them.15Then the 22channelsH650 of waterH4325 appearedH7200, And the foundationsH4144 of the worldH8398 were 23laidH1540 bareH1540 At Your 24rebukeH1606, O LordH3068, At the blastH5397 of the 25breathH7307 of Your nostrilsH639.
16He 26sentH7971 from on highH4791, He tookH3947 me; He drewH4871 me out of 27manyH7227 watersH4325.17He 28deliveredH5337 me from my strongH5794 enemyH340, And from those who hatedH8130 me, for they were 29tooH4480 mightyH553 for me.
