6. (7) In my distress I called upon Hashem, and cried unto Elohai; He heard my voice out of His Heikhal, and my cry came before Him, even into His ears.
7. (8) Ha'aretz shook and trembled; the foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because He was angry.

9. (10) He parted Shomayim, and descended, and dark clouds were under His feet.
10. (11) And He rode upon a keruv (cherub), and did fly; yea, He soared upon the wings of the ruach.
