9. Smoke went up from God’s nostrils;out of his mouth came a devouring fire;flaming coals blazed out in front of him!
10. God parted the skies and came down;thick darkness was beneath his feet.
11. God mounted the heavenly creatures and flew;he was seen on the wind’s wings.
12. God made darkness his covering;water gathered in dense clouds!
13. Coals of fire blazed out of the brightness before him.
14. The Lord thundered from heaven;the Most High made his voice heard.
15. God shot arrows, scattering the enemy;he sent the lightning and whipped them into confusion.
16. The seabeds were exposed;the earth’s foundations were laid bare at the Lord’s rebuke,at the angry blast of air coming from his nostrils.
17. From on high God reached down and grabbed me;he took me out of deep waters.
18. God saved me from my powerful enemy,saved me from my foes, who were too much for me.
