  1. Psalm 17:8 pupil

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 (A)And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
(B)He flew upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness His secret place;
(C)His canopy around Him was dark waters
And thick clouds of the skies.
12 (D)From the brightness before Him,
His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.

13 The Lord thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered (E)His voice,
[a]Hailstones and coals of fire.
14 (F)He sent out His arrows and scattered [b]the foe,
Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
15 Then the channels of the sea were seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered
At Your rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

16 (G)He sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was my support.
19 (H)He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.
