13 The Lord thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered (A)His voice,
[a]Hailstones and coals of fire.
14 (B)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.

16 (C)He sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was my support.
19 (D)He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.
