2 Samuel 22:10
8 Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
9 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
11 He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
12 He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.
