2 Samuel 22:4-15 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

4. I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised; So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

5. For the waves of death encompassed me, Torrents of Belial made me afraid.

6. The bands of Sheol surrounded me; The cords of death encountered me;

7. In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And I cried to my God And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry came into his ears.

8. Then the earth shook, and quaked; The foundations of the heavens trembled And shook because he was wroth.

9. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals burned forth from it.

10. And he bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet.

11. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; And he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

12. And he made darkness round about him a tent, Gatherings of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

13. From the brightness before him Burned forth coals of fire.

14. Jehovah thundered from the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice.

15. And he sent arrows, and scattered mine enemies; Lightning, and discomfited them.
