New King James Version

Psalms 18:8-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

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

10. And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;He flew upon the wings of the wind.

11. He made darkness His secret place;His canopy around Him was dark watersAnd thick clouds of the skies.

12. From the brightness before Him,His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.

13. The Lord thundered from heaven,And the Most High uttered His voice,Hailstones and coals of fire.

14. He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe,Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.

15. Then the channels of the sea were seen,The foundations of the world were uncoveredAt Your rebuke, O Lord,At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
