Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 18:9 In-Context

7 Entonces la tierra se estremeci贸 y tembl贸; los cimientos de los montes temblaron y fueron sacudidos, porque El se indign贸.
8 Humo subi贸 de su nariz, y el fuego de su boca consum铆a; carbones fueron por 茅l encendidos.
9 Tambi茅n inclin贸 los cielos, y descendi贸 con densas tinieblas debajo de sus pies.
10 Cabalg贸 sobre un querub铆n, y vol贸; y raudo vol贸 sobre las alas del viento.
11 De las tinieblas hizo su escondedero, su pabell贸n a su alrededor; tinieblas de las aguas, densos nubarrones.
