⁴ οδοι σιων πενθουσιν παρα το μη ειναι ερχομενους εν εορτη πασαι αι πυλαι αυτης ηφανισμεναι οι ιερεις αυτης αναστεναζουσιν αι παρθενοι αυτης αγομεναι και αυτη πικραινομενη εν εαυτη

¹⁹ εκαλεσα τους εραστας μου αυτοι δε παρελογισαντο με οι ιερεις μου και οι πρεσβυτεροι μου εν τη πολει εξελιπον οτι εζητησαν βρωσιν αυτοις ινα επιστρεψωσιν ψυχας αυτων και ουχ ευρον

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.

¹⁶ He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁸ They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

¹⁹ He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²⁰ Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
