Psalms 18:4-15 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

4. The cords of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

5. The cords of Sheol were round about me: the snares of death came on me.

6. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.

7. Then the earth shook and trembled, me foundations also of the mountains moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

8. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

9. He bowed the heavens also, and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.

10. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly, yea, he flew swiftly upon the wings of the wind.

11. He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion round about him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

12. At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

13. The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice; hailstones and coals of fire.

14. And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.

15. Then the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
