11. He flew swiftly on his winged creature;he travelled on the wings of the wind.
12. He covered himself with darkness;thick clouds, full of water, surrounded him;
13. burning coals flamed up from the lightning before him.
14. Then the Lord thundered from the sky,and the voice of Almighty God was heard.
15. He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies;with flashes of lightning he sent them running.
16. The floor of the ocean was laid bare,and the foundations of the earth were uncoveredwhen the Lord rebuked his enemiesand roared at them in anger.
17. The Lord reached down from above and took hold of me;he pulled me out of the deep waters.
18. He rescued me from my powerful enemiesand from all those who hate me —they were too strong for me.
19. When I was in trouble, they attacked me,but the Lord protected me.
20. He helped me out of danger;he saved me because he was pleased with me.
21. The Lord rewards me because I do what is right;he blesses me because I am innocent.
