Song of Victory

In my trouble I called to the Lord; I called to my God for help.
In his temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help.

Then the earth trembled and shook; the foundations of the
mountains rocked and quivered, because God was angry.

Smoke poured out of his nostrils, a consuming flame and
burning coals from his mouth. He tore the sky open
and came down with a dark cloud under his feet.

He flew swiftly on his winged creature; he traveled on
the wings of the wind. He covered himself with darkness;
thick clouds, full of water, surrounded him.

Hailstones and flashes of fire came from the lightning
before him and broke through the dark clouds.

Then the Lord thundered from the sky; and the voice
of the Most High was heard.

He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies;
with flashes of lightning he sent them running.
The floor of the ocean was laid bare, and the foundations
of the earth were uncovered, when you rebuked your enemies,
Lord, and roared at them in anger.

The Lord reached down from above and took hold of me;
he pulled me out of the deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemies and
from all those who hate me— they were too strong for me.

When I was in trouble, they attacked me, but the Lord protected me.
He helped me out of danger;
he saved me because he was pleased with me.
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭18‬:‭6‬-‭19‬ ‭(GNT‬‬)
