6. In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
7. The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.
8. Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.
9. He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.
