Psalms 18:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 18:11

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.
