2 Samuel 22:9 In-Context

7 I called to the Lord in my distress; I called to my God. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help [reached] His ears.

8 Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they shook because He burned with anger.

9 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire [came] from His mouth; coals were set ablaze by it.

10 He parted the heavens and came down, a dark cloud beneath His feet.

11 He rode on a cherub and flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.
