10 He rode upon a (A)cherub and flew;
And He sped upon the (B)wings of the wind.
11 He made (C)darkness His hiding place, (D)His [a]canopy around Him,
Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 From the (E)brightness before Him passed His thick clouds,
Hailstones and (F)coals of fire.
13 The Lord also (G)thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
14 He (H)sent out His arrows, and scattered them,
And lightning flashes in abundance, and [b]routed them.
15 Then the (I)channels of water appeared,
And the foundations of the world were [c]laid bare
At Your (J)rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the (K)breath of Your nostrils.

16 He (L)sent from on high, He took me;
He drew me out of (M)many waters.
17 He (N)delivered me from my strong enemy,
And from those who hated me, for they were (O)too mighty for me.
18 They confronted me in (P)the day of my calamity,
But (Q)the Lord was my stay.
