2 Samuel 22 — Context

Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and coals of fire.

The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out.

And he sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.

Then the deep beds of the sea were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of the Lord's wrath, because of the breath of his mouth.

He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.

He made me free from my strong hater, from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.

They came on me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my support.
