2 Samuel 22:12

God's power and sovereignty

10 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.

He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.

13 From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.

14 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
