2 Samuel 22:8-20
Christian Standard Bible
8 Then the earth shook and quaked;
the foundations of the heavens[a] trembled;(A)
they shook because he burned with anger.(B)
9 Smoke rose from his nostrils,
and consuming fire came from his mouth;
coals were set ablaze by it.[b]
10 He bent the heavens and came down,(C)
total darkness beneath his feet.
11 He rode on a cherub and flew,
soaring[c] on the wings of the wind.
12 He made darkness a canopy around him,
a gathering[d] of water and thick clouds.(D)
13 From the radiance of his presence,
blazing coals were ignited.
14 The Lord thundered from heaven;
the Most High made his voice heard.(E)
15 He shot arrows and scattered them;(F)
he hurled lightning bolts and routed them.(G)
16 The depths of the sea became visible,
the foundations of the world were exposed
at the rebuke of the Lord,
at the blast of the breath(H) of his nostrils.(I)
17 He reached down from on high
and took hold of me;
he pulled me out of deep water.(J)
18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the Lord was my support.
20 He brought me out to a spacious place;(K)
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
2 Samuel 22:8-20

8 The earth(A) trembled and quaked,(B)
the foundations(C) of the heavens[a] shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
9 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire(D) came from his mouth,
burning coals(E) blazed out of it.
10 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds(F) were under his feet.
11 He mounted the cherubim(G) and flew;
he soared[b] on the wings of the wind.(H)
12 He made darkness(I) his canopy around him—
the dark[c] rain clouds of the sky.
13 Out of the brightness of his presence
bolts of lightning(J) blazed forth.
14 The Lord thundered(K) from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 He shot his arrows(L) 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(M) of the Lord,
at the blast(N) of breath from his nostrils.
17 “He reached down from on high(O) and took hold of me;
he drew(P) me out of deep waters.
18 He rescued(Q) 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.(R)
20 He brought me out into a spacious(S) place;
he rescued(T) me because he delighted(U) in me.(V)
