2 Samuel 22:9 in Context — 2 Samuel 22

7 Tuve angustia, invoqué á Jehová, y clamé á mi Dios: y él oyó mi voz desde su templo; [llegó] mi clamor á sus oídos.

8 La tierra se removió, y tembló; los fundamentos de los cielos fueron movidos, y se estremecieron, porque él se airó.

9 Subió humo de sus narices, y de su boca fuego consumidor, por el cual se encendieron carbones.

10 Y abajó los cielos, y descendió: una oscuridad debajo de sus pies.

11 Subió sobre el querubín, y voló: aparecióse sobre las alas del viento.
