Psalms 18:7-13 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

7. In my distress I called out: Lord!I cried out to my God.From his temple he heard my voice;my cry to him reached his ears.

8. The earth rocked and shook;the foundations of the mountains trembled;they shook as his wrath flared up.

9. Smoke rose from his nostrils,a devouring fire from his mouth;it kindled coals into flame.

10. He parted the heavens and came down,a dark cloud under his feet.

11. Mounted on a cherub he flew,borne along on the wings of the wind.

12. He made darkness his cloak around him;his canopy, water-darkened stormclouds.

13. From the gleam before him, his clouds passed,hail and coals of fire.
