18:6 In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried out to my God. 1
From his heavenly temple 2 he heard my voice;
he listened to my cry for help. 3
18:7 The earth heaved and shook; 4
the roots of the mountains 5 trembled; 6
they heaved because he was angry.
18:8 Smoke ascended from 7 his nose; 8
fire devoured as it came from his mouth; 9
he hurled down fiery coals. 10
18:9 He made the sky sink 11 as he descended;
a thick cloud was under his feet.
18:10 He mounted 12 a winged angel 13 and flew;
he glided 14 on the wings of the wind. 15
18:11 He shrouded himself in darkness, 16
in thick rain clouds. 17
18:12 From the brightness in front of him came
hail and fiery coals. 18
18:13 The Lord thundered 19 in 20 the sky;
the sovereign One 21 shouted. 22
18:14 He shot his 23 arrows and scattered them, 24
many lightning bolts 25 and routed them. 26
18:15 The depths 27 of the sea 28 were exposed;
the inner regions 29 of the world were uncovered
by 30 your battle cry, 31 Lord,
by the powerful breath from your nose. 32
