Psalms 18:9-16

9He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.

10He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.

11He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky.

12Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning.

13The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.

14He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

15The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, Lord, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

16He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.
