New Testament

2 Samuel 22:7-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. In my tribulation, I will call upon the Lord, and I will cry out to my God. And he will heed my voice from his temple, and my outcry will reach his ears.

8. The earth was shaken, and it quaked. The foundations of the mountains were struck together and violently shaken, because he was angry with them.

9. Smoke ascends from his nostrils, and fire from his mouth will devour; coals have been kindled by it.

10. He bent down the heavens, and it descended; and a fog was beneath his feet.

11. And he climbed upon the cherubim, and he flew; and he slid upon the wings of the wind.

12. He set darkness as a hiding place around himself, with waters sifted from the clouds of the heavens.

13. By means of the brightness of his glance, coals of fire were kindled.

14. The Lord will thunder from heaven; and the Most High will utter his voice.

15. He shot arrows, and he scattered them; lightning, and he consumed them.

16. And the overflow of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the globe were revealed, at the rebuke of the Lord, at the exhale of the breath of his fury.

17. He sent from on high, and he took me up. And he drew me out of many waters.
