Psalms 18:7–15
In response to David's cry, the Lord manifests His presence through earthquake, fire, and storm to route the forces of death and rescue His king.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
8 Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
14 He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.
15 Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
In response to David's cry, the Lord manifests His presence through earthquake, fire, and storm to route the forces of death and rescue His king.
To depict the awe-inspiring and terrifying manifestation of God as a Cosmic Warrior descending to rescue His servant and scatter his enemies.
The LORD My Rock, Deliverer, and King
The LORD is the living rock who hears, descends, rescues, vindicates, strengthens, and gives covenant victory to his anointed servant.
