Psalm 18:6-11

Common English Bible

⁶In my distress I cried out to the Lord;
    I called to my God for help.
God heard my voice from his temple;
    I called to him for help,
    and my call reached his ears.

⁷The earth rocked and shook;
    the bases of the mountains trembled and reeled
    because of God’s anger.
⁸Smoke went up from God’s nostrils;
    out of his mouth came a devouring fire;
    flaming coals blazed out in front of him!
⁹God parted the skies and came down;
    thick darkness was beneath his feet.
¹⁰God mounted the heavenly creatures and flew;
    he soared on the wings of the wind.
¹¹God made darkness cloak him;
    his covering was dark water and dense cloud.
