2 Samuel 22:10-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ You opened the heavens
    like curtains,
and you came down
with storm clouds
    under your feet.
¹¹ You rode on the backs
    of flying creatures.^[a]
You appeared^[b]
    with the wind as wings.
¹² Darkness was your tent!
Thunderclouds filled the sky,
    hiding you from sight.
¹³ Fiery coals lit up the sky
    in front of you.

¹⁴ Lord Most High, your voice
    thundered from the heavens.
¹⁵ You scattered your enemies
    with arrows of lightning.
¹⁶ You roared at the sea,
and its deepest channels
    could be seen.
You snorted,
and the earth shook
    to its foundations.
