2 Samuel 22:9 in Context — 2 Samuel 22

7 Dans ma détresse, j’ai invoqué l’Éternel, J’ai invoqué mon Dieu; De son palais, il a entendu ma voix, Et mon cri est parvenu à ses oreilles.

8 La terre fut ébranlée et trembla, Les fondements des cieux frémirent, Et ils furent ébranlés, parce qu’il était irrité.

9 Il s’élevait de la fumée dans ses narines, Et un feu dévorant sortait de sa bouche: Il en jaillissait des charbons embrasés.

10 Il abaissa les cieux, et il descendit: Il y avait une épaisse nuée sous ses pieds.

11 Il était monté sur un chérubin, et il volait, Il paraissait sur les ailes du vent.
