2 Samuel 22:9

Verse 9 of 51. The 22nd of 24 chapters in 2 Samuel, in History.

5For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

6The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me.

7In my distress, I called on the LORD. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.

8Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

9Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

10He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

11He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

12He made darkness a shelter around himself, gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

13At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.
