Psalm 18:10-18
New American Standard Bible
Psalm 18:10-18
New American Standard Bible
10 He rode on a (A)cherub and flew;
And He sped on the (B)wings of the wind.
11 He made (C)darkness His hiding place, (D)His [a]canopy around Him,
Darkness of waters, thick clouds.
12 From the (E)brightness before Him passed His thick clouds,
Hailstones and (F)coals of fire.
13 The Lord also (G)thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
14 He (H)sent out His arrows, and scattered them,
And lightning flashes in abundance, and [b]routed them.
15 Then the (I)channels of water appeared,
And the foundations of the world were exposed
By Your (J)rebuke, Lord,
At the blast of the (K)breath of Your nostrils.
16 He (L)sent from on high, He took me;
He drew me out of (M)many waters.
17 He (N)saved me from my strong enemy,
And from those who hated me, for they were (O)too mighty for me.
18 They confronted me in (P)the day of my disaster,
But (Q)the Lord was my support.

10 He mounted the cherubim(A) and flew;
he soared(B) on the wings of the wind.(C)

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)

and the foundations(M) of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke,(N) Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.(O)

King James Version
Psalm 18:10-18
King James Version
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.
