Psalms 18:8-16

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.

15The depths of the sea were exposed; the inner regions of the world were uncovered by your battle cry, Lord, by the powerful breath from your nose.

16He reached down from above and took hold of me; he pulled me from the surging water.
