New Testament

2 Samuel 22:13-20 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

13. From the brightness that was all around him flashes of lightning blazed out.

14. The Lord thundered from heaven. The voice of the Most High God was heard.

15. He shot his arrows and scattered our enemies. He sent flashes of lightning and chased the enemies away.

16. The bottom of the sea could be seen. The foundations of the earth were uncovered. It happened when the Lord's anger blazed out. It came like a blast of breath from his nose.

17. "He reached down from heaven. He took hold of me. He lifted me out of deep waters.

18. He saved me from my powerful enemies. He set me free from those who were too strong for me.

19. They stood up to me when I was in trouble. But the Lord helped me.

20. He brought me out into a wide and safe place. He saved me because he was pleased with me.
