2 Samuel 22:7-18 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. In my distress I called upon Yahweh, and to my God I called. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help was to his ears.

8. The earth heaved and shook, the foundations of heaven trembled and heaved because he was angry.

9. Smoke went up from his nostrils and fire from his mouth. Burning coals devoured, they burned from him.

10. He bowed the heavens and came down; a very thick cloud was under his feet.

11. He rode upon a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind.

12. He put darkness as a canopy all around him, a collection of thick rain clouds.

13. From the brightness before him flamed burning coals of fire.

14. Yahweh thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.

15. He sent arrows and he scattered them, lightning, and he directed them.

16. Then the channels of water of the sea were exposed, the foundations of the world, at the rebuke of Yawheh, from the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

17. He sent from a high position and took me; he drew me from mighty waters.

18. He delivered me from my strong enemies, from those who hate me, for they were mightier than I.
