Psalms 18:7-18 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled, and they staggered because he was angry.

8. Smoke went forth from his nose, and fire from his mouth consumed. Burning coals blazed from him.

9. So he bowed the heavens and came down with a thick cloud under his feet.

10. And he mounted a cherub and flew, and he swooped down on wings of wind.

11. He made darkness his hiding place; all about him his covering was a darkness of waters, thick clouds.

12. From the brightness before him his clouds passed over with hail and coals of fire.

13. And Yahweh thundered from the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice with hail and coals of fire.

14. And he shot his arrows and scattered them, and many lightning bolts and routed them.

15. Then the channels of the sea became visible, and the foundations of the world were uncovered by your rebuke, O Yahweh, by the blast of the wind of your nose.

16. He reached from on high; he seized me. He drew me from many waters.

17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me because they were stronger than I.

18. They confronted me on the day of disaster, but Yahweh was my support.
