2 Samuel 22:6-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
6The ropes of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. 7In my distress I called upon the Lord, Yes, I called out to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears. 8Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of heaven were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry. 9Smoke went up out of His nostrils, And fire from His mouth was devouring; Coals were kindled by it. 10He also bowed the heavens down low, and came down With thick darkness under His feet. 11He rode on a cherub and flew; He appeared on the wings of the wind. 12He made darkness canopies around Him, A mass of waters, thick clouds of the sky. 13From the brightness before Him Coals of fire were kindled. 14The Lord thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered His voice.King James Version

Chapter 22
6The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. 7I 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. 8Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they shook because he burned with anger. 9Smoke rose from his nostrils, and consuming fire came from his mouth; coals were set ablaze by it. 10He bent the heavens and came down, total darkness beneath his feet. 11He rode on a cherub and flew, soaring on the wings of the wind. 12He made darkness a canopy around him, a gathering of water and thick clouds. 13From the radiance of his presence, blazing coals were ignited. 14The Lord thundered from heaven; the Most High made his voice heard.New Living Translation
Chapter 22
6The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path. 7But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I cried to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached his ears.
8'Then the earth quaked and trembled. The foundations of the heavens shook; they quaked because of his anger.
9Smoke poured from his nostrils; fierce flames leaped from his mouth. Glowing coals blazed forth from him.
10He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet.
11Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.
12He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dense rain clouds.
13A great brightness shone around him, and burning coals blazed forth.
14The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.

Chapter 22
6 the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. 7 "In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I called. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry came to his ears. 8"Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry. 9Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. 10 He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. 11He rode on a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind. 12He made darkness around him his canopy, thick clouds, a gathering of water. 13Out of the brightness before him coals of fire flamed forth. 14 The Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.New International Version
Chapter 22
6The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. 7"In my distress I called to the Lord; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears. 8The earth trembled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens shook; they trembled because he was angry. 9Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it. 10He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet. 11He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind. 12He made darkness his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky. 13Out of the brightness of his presence bolts of lightning blazed forth. 14The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.New King James Version
