Shmuel Bais 22:8-24 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

8. Then ha'aretz shook and trembled; the mosedot (foundations) of Shomayim moved and shook, because He was in wrath.

9. There went up an ashan (smoke) out of His nostrils, and eish out of His peh (mouth) devoured; coals were kindled by it.

10. He bowed HaShomayim also, and came down; and a dark cloud was under His raglayim.

11. And He rode upon a keruv, and did fly; and He was seen upon the wings of the ruach.

12. And He made choshech sukkot round about Him, dark mayim, and thick clouds of the skies.

13. Through the radiant brightness before Him were coals of eish kindled.

14. Hashem thundered from Shomayim, and Elyon uttered His voice.

15. He sent out khitzim, and scattered them; lightning, and vanquished them.

16. And the channels of the yam appeared, the mosedot (foundations) of the tevel (world) were uncovered, at the rebuking of Hashem, at the blast of the ruach of His nostrils.

17. He sent from on High, He took me; He drew me out of mayim rabbim;

18. He delivered me from my strong oyev, and from them that hated me; for they were too strong for me.

19. They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but Hashem was my support.

20. He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because chafetz (He delighted) in me.

21. Hashem rewarded me according to my tzedakah; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.

22. For I have been shomer over the drakhei Hashem, and have not wickedly departed from Elohai [see Ac 21:21].

23. For all His mishpatim were before me; as for His chukkot, I did not depart from them.

24. I was also tamim (blameless) before Him, and have kept myself from mine avon (iniquity).
