Psalms 18:4-19

4The pangs of death surrounded me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

5The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

6In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.

7Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry.

8Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it.

9He bowed the heavens also, and came down With darkness under His feet.

10And He rode upon a cherub, and flew; He flew upon the wings of the wind.

11He made darkness His secret place; His canopy around Him was dark waters And thick clouds of the skies.

12From the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.

13The Lord thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.

14He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe, Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.

15Then the channels of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At Your rebuke, O Lord, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

16He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.

17He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me, For they were too strong for me.

18They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the Lord was my support.

19He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
