Psalms 18:4-19

4The cords of death compassed meH4480, and the floods of ungodliness madeH7121 meH4480 afraid.

5The cordsH2256 of Sheol were round about meH661: the snares of deathH4194 came on meH661.

6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry beforeH6923 him came into his ears.

7Then the earth shook and trembled, meH413 foundations also of the mountains movedH935 and were shaken, becauseH6440 he was wroth.

8There went upH4146 a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindledH2734 by it.

9He bowed the heavens also, and cameH5927 downH639, and thick darkness was underH4480 his feet.

10And he rode uponH3381 a cherub, and did fly, yea, he flew swiftly uponH3381 the wings of the wind.

11He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion round aboutH5921 him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skiesH5921.

12At the brightness before him his thickH5645 cloudsH5645 passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice; hailstonesH1259 and coalsH1513 of fireH784.

14And he sentH5414 outH784 his arrowsH784, and scattered them; yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.

15Then the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laidH7971 bare, at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

16He sentH1540 from on high, he took meH7200; he drew meH7200 outH7200 of many watersH4325.

17He deliveredH7971 meH7971 from my strong enemy, and from them that hated meH7971, for they were tooH7227 mighty for meH7971.

18They came upon meH8130 in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

19He broughtH1961 meH1961 forth also intoH1961 a large placeH1961; he delivered meH1961, becauseH3117 he delighted in meH1961.
