Salmos 18:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 18:9

He bowed the heavens also, and came down
To execute wrath and vengeance on wicked men; which is always the sense of these phrases when they go together; see ( Psalms 144:6-8 ) ( Isaiah 64:1 Isaiah 64:2 ) ; The Targum is, "he bowed the heavens, and his glory appeared"; that is, the glory of his power, and of his mighty hand of vengeance; for not his grace and mercy, but his indignation and wrath, showed themselves; for it follows,

and darkness [was] under his feet;
the Targum is, "a dark cloud", expressive of the awfulness of the dispensation to wicked men; who are not allowed to see the face of God, are debarred his presence, and denied, communion with him, and to whom everything appears awful and terrible, ( Psalms 97:2-5 ) .

Salmos 18:9 In-Context

7 Y la tierra fué conmovida y tembló; Y moviéronse los fundamentos de los montes, Y se estremecieron, porque se indignó él.

8 Humo subió de su nariz, Y de su boca consumidor fuego; Carbones fueron por él encendidos.

9 Y bajó los cielos, y descendió; Y oscuridad debajo de sus pies.

10 Y cabalgó sobre un querubín, y voló: Voló sobre las alas del viento.

11 Puso tinieblas por escondedero suyo, su pabellón en derredor de sí; Oscuridad de aguas, nubes de los cielos.
