Psalms 18:6-19

6 aIn my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his btemple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.
7 Then the earth creeled and rocked;
the foundations also of the mountains trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
8Smoke went up from his nostrils,
Or in his wrath

and devouring efire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
9He fbowed the heavens and gcame down;
hthick darkness was under his feet.
10He rode on a cherub and flew;
he came swiftly on ithe wings of the wind.
11He made darkness his covering, his jcanopy around him,
thick clouds kdark with water.
12Out of the brightness before him
lhailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.
13 The Lord also mthundered in the heavens,
and the Most High uttered his nvoice,
hailstones and coals of fire.
14And he sent out his oarrows and scattered them;
he flashed forth lightnings and prouted them.
15Then qthe channels of the sea were seen,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your rrebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of sthe breath of your nostrils.
16 He tsent from on high, he took me;
he udrew me out of vmany waters.
17He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were wtoo mighty for me.
18They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the Lord was my support.
19He brought me out into xa broad place;
he rescued me, because he ydelighted in me.
