12. He made darkness His canopy around Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13. Out of the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.
14. The Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered His voice.
15. He sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning confused and troubled them.
16. The channels of the sea were visible, the foundations of the world were uncovered at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17. He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of great waters.
18. He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19. They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my stay.
20. He brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
21. The Lord rewarded me according to my uprightness with Him; He compensated and benefited me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23. For all His ordinances were before me; and from His statutes I did not turn aside.
