2 Samuel 22:8-10
Contemporary English Version

8 Earth shook and shivered!
The columns supporting the sky[a]
    rocked back and forth.
You were angry
9     and breathed out smoke.
Scorching heat and fiery flames
    spewed from your mouth.

10 You opened the heavens
    like curtains,
and you came down
with storm clouds
    under your feet.
