The earth trembled(A) and quaked,(B)

    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)

  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.

(A)Then the earth shook and trembled;
The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.
Smoke went up from His nostrils,
And devouring fire from His mouth;
Coals were kindled by it.
(B)He bowed the heavens also, and came down
With darkness under His feet.
10 (C)And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
(D)He flew upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness His secret place;
(E)His canopy around Him was dark waters
And thick clouds of the skies.
12 (F)From the brightness before Him,
His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.

13 The Lord thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered (G)His voice,
[a]Hailstones and coals of fire.
14 (H)He sent out His arrows and scattered [b]the foe,
Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
15 Then the channels of the sea were seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered
At Your rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
