New International Version

2 Samuel 22:8-16

8The earth trembled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens shook; they trembled because he was angry.

9Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.

10He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.

11He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.

12He made darkness his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky.

13Out of the brightness of his presence bolts of lightning blazed forth.

14The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.

15He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

16The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of breath from his nostrils.
