    the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence(C) clouds advanced,
    with hailstones(D) and bolts of lightning.(E)
13 The Lord thundered(F) from heaven;
    the voice of the Most High resounded.[a]

  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

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.
