11. He rode on a cherub and flew,soaring on the wings of the wind.
12. He made darkness a canopy around Him,a gathering of water and thick clouds.
13. From the radiance of His presence,flaming coals were ignited.
14. The Lord thundered from heaven;the Most High projected His voice.
15. He shot arrows and scattered them; He hurled lightning bolts and routed them.
16. The depths of the sea became visible,the foundations of the world were exposedat the rebuke of the Lord,at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17. He reached down from heavenand took hold of me;He pulled me out of deep waters.
18. He rescued me from my powerful enemyand from those who hated me,for they were too strong for me.
19. They confronted me in the day of my distress,but the Lord was my support.
20. He brought me out to a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
21. The Lord rewarded meaccording to my righteousness; He repaid meaccording to the cleanness of my hands.
22. For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not turned from my God to wickedness.
23. Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind and have not disregarded His statutes.
24. I was blameless before Himand kept myself from sinning.
25. So the Lord repaid meaccording to my righteousness,according to my cleanness in His sight.
26. With the faithfulYou prove Yourself faithful;with the blameless manYou prove Yourself blameless;
27. with the pureYou prove Yourself pure,but with the crookedYou prove Yourself shrewd.
28. You rescue an afflicted people, but Your eyes are set against the proud —You humble them.
29. Lord, You are my lamp;the Lord illuminates my darkness.
30. With You I can attack a barrier, and with my God I can leap over a wall.
