Psalms 18:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 18:9

Compare all

7 ^aThen the earth shook and trembled;
The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.

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

9 ^aHe bowed the heavens also, and came down
With darkness under His feet.

10 ^aAnd He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
^bHe flew upon the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness His secret place;
^aHis canopy around Him was dark waters
And thick clouds of the skies.

12 ^aFrom 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 ^aHis voice,
¹Hailstones and coals of fire.

14 ^aHe sent out His arrows and scattered¹ the foe,
Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.

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

16 ^aHe sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was my support.

19 ^aHe also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.

20 ^aThe Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
