New King James Version

2 Samuel 22:6-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

6. The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;The snares of death confronted me.

7. In my distress I called upon the Lord,And cried out to my God;He heard my voice from His temple,And my cry entered His ears.

8. “Then the earth shook and trembled;The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken,Because He was angry.

9. Smoke went up from His nostrils,And devouring fire from His mouth;Coals were kindled by it.

10. He bowed the heavens also, and came downWith darkness under His feet.

11. He rode upon a cherub, and flew;And He was seen upon the wings of the wind.

12. He made darkness canopies around Him,Dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
