The earth trembled(A) and quaked,(B)
    and the foundations of the mountains shook;(C)
    they trembled because he was angry.(D)
Smoke rose from his nostrils;(E)
    consuming fire(F) came from his mouth,
    burning coals(G) blazed out of it.
He parted the heavens and came down;(H)
    dark clouds(I) were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim(J) and flew;
    he soared(K) on the wings of the wind.(L)
11 He made darkness his covering,(M) his canopy(N) around him—
    the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence(O) clouds advanced,
    with hailstones(P) and bolts of lightning.(Q)
13 The Lord thundered(R) from heaven;
    the voice of the Most High resounded.[a]
14 He shot his arrows(S) and scattered the enemy,
    with great bolts of lightning(T) he routed them.(U)
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
    and the foundations(V) of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke,(W) Lord,
    at the blast of breath from your nostrils.(X)

  1. Psalm 18:13 Some Hebrew manuscripts and Septuagint (see also 2 Samuel 22:14); most Hebrew manuscripts resounded, / amid hailstones and bolts of lightning

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

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

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

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

11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

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