2 Samuel 22:7-11, 17, 20.
I called on the Lord in my distress.
        I called to my God for help.
            He heard my voice from his temple,
                and my cry for help reached his ears.
 Then the earth shook and quaked.
        Even the foundations of the heavens trembled.
            They shook violently because he was angry.
 Smoke went up from his nostrils,
        and a raging fire came out of his mouth.
            Glowing coals flared up from it.
 He spread apart the heavens
        and came down with a dark cloud under his feet.
 He rode on one of the angels as he flew,
        and he soared on the wings of the wind.
 He reached down from high above and took hold of me.
     He pulled me out of the raging water.
 He brought me out to a wide-open place.
         He rescued me because he was pleased with me.
GOD’S WORD Translation
