“In my distress(A) I called(B) to the Lord;
    I called out to my God.
From his temple he heard my voice;
    my cry came to his ears.
The earth(C) trembled and quaked,(D)
    the foundations(E) of the heavens[a] shook;
    they trembled because he was angry.
Smoke rose from his nostrils;
    consuming fire(F) came from his mouth,
    burning coals(G) blazed out of it.
10 He parted the heavens and came down;
    dark clouds(H) were under his feet.
