2 Samuel 22:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ I was in terrible trouble
    when I called out to you,
but from your temple
you heard me
    and answered my prayer.
⁸ Earth shook and shivered!
The columns supporting the sky^[a]
    rocked back and forth.
You were angry
⁹     and breathed out smoke.
Scorching heat and fiery flames
    spewed from your mouth.
