Psalm 18:7-16
1599 Geneva Bible
7 [a]Then the earth trembled and quaked: the foundations also of the mountains moved and shook, because he was angry.
8 Smoke went out at his nostrils, and a [b]consuming fire out of his mouth: coals were kindled thereat.
9 He bowed the heavens also and came down, and [c]darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon [d]Cherub, and did fly, and he came flying upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his [e]secret place, and his pavilion round about him, even darkness of waters, and clouds of the air.
12 At the brightness of his presence his clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
13 The Lord also thundered in the heaven, and the Highest gave [f]his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Then he sent out [g]his arrows and scattered them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them.
15 And the channels of waters were seen, and the [h]foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 He hath sent down from above and taken me: he hath drawn me out of many [i]waters.
