11. Mounted on a cherub he flew,borne along on the wings of the wind.
12. He made darkness the cover about him,a mass of water, heavy thunderheads.
13. From the brightness of his presencecoals were kindled to flame.
14. The Lord thundered from heaven;the Most High made his voice resound.
15. He let fly arrows and scattered them;lightning, and dispersed them.
16. Then the bed of the sea appeared;the world’s foundations lay bare,At the roar of the Lord,at the storming breath of his nostrils.
17. He reached down from on high and seized me,drew me out of the deep waters.
18. He rescued me from my mighty enemy,from foes too powerful for me.
19. They attacked me on a day of distress,but the Lord came to my support.
20. He set me free in the open;he rescued me because he loves me.
21. The Lord acknowledged my righteousness;rewarded my clean hands.
22. For I kept the ways of the Lord;I was not disloyal to my God.
