10 He mounted the cherubim(A) and flew;
    he soared(B) on the wings of the wind.(C)
11 He made darkness his covering,(D) his canopy(E) around him—
    the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence(F) clouds advanced,
    with hailstones(G) and bolts of lightning.(H)
13 The Lord thundered(I) from heaven;
    the voice of the Most High resounded.[a]
14 He shot his arrows(J) and scattered the enemy,
    with great bolts of lightning(K) he routed them.(L)
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
    and the foundations(M) of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke,(N) Lord,
    at the blast of breath from your nostrils.(O)

16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
    he drew me out of deep waters.(P)
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,(Q)
    from my foes, who were too strong for me.(R)
18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,(S)
    but the Lord was my support.(T)
19 He brought me out into a spacious place;(U)
    he rescued me because he delighted in me.(V)

  1. Psalm 18:13 Some Hebrew manuscripts and Septuagint (see also 2 Samuel 22:14); most Hebrew manuscripts resounded, / amid hailstones and bolts of lightning

10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.

19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
