Psalm 18:7-10

The Passion Translation

⁷ The earth itself shivered and shook.
It reeled and rocked before him.
As the mountains trembled, they melted away!
For his anger was kindled, burning on my behalf.
⁸ Fierce flames leapt from his mouth,
erupting with blazing, burning coals as smoke
and fire encircled him.
^9–10 He stretched heaven’s curtain open and came to my defense.
Swiftly he rode to earth as the stormy sky was lowered.
He rode a chariot of thunderclouds amidst thick darkness,
a cherub his steed as he swooped down,
soaring on the wings of Spirit-wind.
