Psalms 18:7-9
earth <0776> [earth.]
roots <04146> [foundations.]
ascended <05927> [went.]
nose ......... mouth <0639 06310> [out of his. Heb. by his. fire.]
made .... sink <05186> [He bowed.]
Jehovah is here represented as a mighty warrior going forth to fight the battles of David. When He descended to the engagement, the very heavens bowed to render his descent more awful: His military tent was substantial darkness; the voice of His thunder was the warlike alarm which sounded to battle; the chariot in which He rode was the thick clouds of heaven, conducted by cherubs, and carried on by the irresistible force and rapid wings of an impetuous tempest; and the darts and weapons He employed were thunder-bolts, lightnings, fiery hail, deluging rains, and stormy winds! No wonder that when God arose all His enemies were scattered, and those that hated Him fled before Him.
thick cloud <06205> [darkness.]
