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.
19. They came at me on the very day of my distress,but the Lord was my support.
20. He brought me out to wide-open spaces;he pulled me out, because he is pleased with me.
21. The Lord rewarded me for my righteousness;he restored me because my hands are clean,
22. because I have kept the Lord’s ways.I haven’t acted wickedly against my God.
