He made darkness canopies around Him, Dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
13
From the brightness before Him Coals of fire were kindled.
14
"The Lord thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered His voice.
15
He sent out arrows and scattered them; Lightning bolts, and He vanquished them.
16
Then the channels of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered, At the rebuke of the Lord, At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17
"He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters.
18
He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; For they were too strong for me.
19
They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the Lord was my support.
20
He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
21
"The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
22
For I have kept the ways of the Lord, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
