the hero’s rescue
11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him— 12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, 13 The Lord thundered from heaven; 14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, 15 The valleys of the sea were exposed 16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; 17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, 18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster, 19 He brought me out into a spacious place;
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
the voice of the Most High resounded.t
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
he drew me out of deep waters.
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
but the Lord was my support.
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
