And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.] (See Gill on Psalms 18:15).
14
Then God thundered out of heaven; the High God gave a great shout.
15
God shot his arrows - pandemonium! He hurled his lightnings - a rout!
16
The secret sources of ocean were exposed, the hidden depths of earth lay uncovered The moment God roared in protest, let loose his hurricane anger.
17
But me he caught - reached all the way from sky to sea; he pulled me out
18
Of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos, the void in which I was drowning.
