New Testament

2 Samuel 22:9-18 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.
