2 Samuel 22:8 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 22:8

6 The ^asorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.

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

8 “Then ^athe earth shook and trembled;
^bThe foundations of¹ heaven quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.

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

10 He ^abowed the heavens also, and came down
With ^bdarkness under His feet.

11 He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
And He¹ was seen ^aupon the wings of the wind.

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