Psalms 17:6-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. The sorrows of hell encompassed me: and the snares of death prevented me.

7. In my affliction I called upon the Lord, and I cried to my God: And he heard my voice from his holy temple: and my cry before him came into his ears.

8. The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.

9. There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.

10. He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

11. And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.

12. And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
