7. In my distress, I called on the Lord.Yes, I called to my God.He heard my voice out of his temple.My cry came into his ears.
8. Then the earth shook and trembled.The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken,because he was angry.
9. Smoke went up out of his nostrils.Consuming fire came out of his mouth.Coals were kindled by it.
10. He bowed the heavens also, and came down.Thick darkness was under his feet.
11. He rode on a cherub, and flew.Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.
12. He made darkness a shelter around himself:gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13. At the brightness before him,coals of fire were kindled.
14. The Lord thundered from heaven.The Most High uttered his voice.
15. He sent out arrows, and scattered them;lightning, and confused them.
16. Then the channels of the sea appeared.The foundations of the world were laid bare by the Lord’s rebuke,at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17. He sent from on high and he took me.He drew me out of many waters.
18. He delivered me from my strong enemy,from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19. They came on me in the day of my calamity,but the Lord was my support.
20. He also brought me out into a large place.He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness.He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
