14 L’Éternel tonna des cieux, Le Très-Haut fit retentir sa voix;

15 Il lança des flèches et dispersa mes ennemis, La foudre, et les mit en déroute.

16 Le lit de la mer apparut, Les fondements du monde furent découverts, Par la menace de l’Éternel, Par le bruit du souffle de ses narines.

17 Il étendit sa main d’en haut, il me saisit, Il me retira des grandes eaux;

18 Il me délivra de mon adversaire puissant, De mes ennemis qui étaient plus forts que moi.
