2 Samuel - ch 22 v 1 - 20
- David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
- and he said, Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
- God, my rock, in him I will take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.
- I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from my enemies.
- For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
- The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me.
- In my distress I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.
- Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
- Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
- He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
- He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.
- He made darkness pavilions around himself: gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
- At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.
- Yahweh thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
- He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and confused them.
- Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of Yahweh, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
- He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
- He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
- They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.
- He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
