Psalm 18:7-16

Psalm 18:7-16

Our Awesome God!

Psa 18:7  Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 

Psa 18:8  There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 

Psa 18:9  He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 

Psa 18:10  And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 

Psa 18:11  He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 

Psa 18:12  At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 

Psa 18:13  The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 

Psa 18:14  Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 

Psa 18:15  Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 

Psa 18:16  He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
