2 Samuel 22:15
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.
He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
16 The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
