Context of 2 Samuel 22:9
7In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry entered His ears. 8“Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry. Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it. 10He bowed the heavens also, and came down With darkness under His feet. 11He rode upon a cherub, and flew; And He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
