⁷ “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.
⁸ The earth^(C) trembled and quaked,^(D)
    the foundations^(E) of the heavens^[a] shook;
    they trembled because he was angry.
⁹ 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.
¹¹ He mounted the cherubim^(I) and flew;
    he soared^[b] on the wings of the wind.^(J)
12 He made darkness^(K) his canopy around him—
    the dark^[c] rain clouds of the sky.
¹³ Out of the brightness of his presence
    bolts of lightning^(L) blazed forth.
¹⁴ The Lord thundered^(M) from heaven;
    the voice of the Most High resounded.
¹⁵ He shot his arrows^(N) and scattered the enemy,
    with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
¹⁶ The valleys of the sea were exposed
    and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at the rebuke^(O) of the Lord,
    at the blast^(P) of breath from his nostrils.

¹⁷ “He reached down from on high^(Q) and took hold of me;
    he drew^(R) me out of deep waters.
¹⁸ He rescued^(S) me from my powerful enemy,
    from my foes, who were too strong for me.
¹⁹ They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
    but the Lord was my support.^(T)
20 He brought me out into a spacious^(U) place;
    he rescued^(V) me because he delighted^(W) in me.^(X)
