Psalms 18:6-14

6In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried out to my God. From his heavenly temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help.

7The earth heaved and shook; the roots of the mountains trembled; they heaved because he was angry.

8Smoke ascended from his nose; fire devoured as it came from his mouth; he hurled down fiery coals.

9He made the sky sink as he descended; a thick cloud was under his feet.

10He mounted a winged angel and flew; he glided on the wings of the wind.

11He shrouded himself in darkness, in thick rain clouds.

12From the brightness in front of him came hail and fiery coals.

13The Lord thundered in the sky; the sovereign One shouted.

14He shot his arrows and scattered them, many lightning bolts and routed them.
