Psalms 18:7-17 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7. The earth shook and shivered,and the mountains trembleddown to their roots.You were angry

8. and breathed out smoke.Scorching heat and fiery flamesspewed from your mouth.

9. You opened the heavenslike curtains,and you came downwith storm cloudsunder your feet.

10. You rode on the backsof flying creaturesand swooped downwith the wind as wings.

11. Darkness was your robe;thunderclouds filled the sky,hiding you from sight.

12. Hailstones and fiery coalslit up the skyin front of you.

13. Lord Most High, your voicethundered from the heavens,as hailstones and fiery coalspoured down like rain.

14. You scattered your enemieswith arrows of lightning.

15. You roared at the sea,and its deepest channelscould be seen.You snorted,and the earth shookto its foundations.

16. You reached down from heaven,and you lifted mefrom deep in the ocean.

17. You rescued me from enemies,who were hatefuland too powerful for me.
