7 Then the earth reeled and rocked;

and reeled because he was angry.(A)
8 Smoke went up from his nostrils
and devouring fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
9 He bowed the heavens and came down;
thick darkness was under his feet.(B)
10 He rode on a cherub and flew;
he came swiftly upon the wings of the wind.(C)
11 He made darkness his covering around him,
his canopy thick clouds dark with water.(D)
12 Out of the brightness before him
there broke through his clouds
hailstones and coals of fire.(E)
13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens,
and the Most High uttered his voice.[a](F)
14 And he sent out his arrows and scattered them;
he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.(G)
15 Then the channels of the sea were seen,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your rebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.(H)
