Psalms 18:8-16

8Smoke poured from his nostrils; fierce flames leaped from his mouth. Glowing coals blazed forth from him.

9He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet.

10Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.

11He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dark rain clouds.

12Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him and rained down hail and burning coals.

13The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded amid the hail and burning coals.

14He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.

15Then at your command, O Lord, at the blast of your breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were laid bare.

16He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters.
