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 Y la tierra fue conmovida y tembl贸; y los fundamentos de los montes se estremecieron, y se removieron porque 茅l se enoj贸.
8 Subi贸 humo en su nariz, y de su boca fuego quemante; carbones se encendieron de 茅l.
9 Y baj贸 a los cielos, y descendi贸; y hab铆a oscuridad debajo de sus pies.
10 Y cabalg贸 sobre un querub铆n, y vol贸; vol贸 sobre las alas del viento.
11 Puso tinieblas por su escondedero, en sus alrededores de su tabern谩culo oscuridad de aguas, nubes de los cielos.
