Psalms

Psalm 18:13–15

¹³The LORD thundered from heaven;

the voice of the Most High resounded —

hailstones and coals of fire.^b

¹⁴He shot His arrows and scattered the foes;

He hurled lightning and routed them.

¹⁵The channels of the sea appeared,

and the foundations of the world were exposed,

at Your rebuke, O LORD,

at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
