2 Samuel 22:12

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

There will be a pavilion for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge and for a shelter from storm and from rain.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.

He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.

Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

You are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in your word.

Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.

A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.

You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was.

God is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.

Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

The King’s strength also loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.

It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in,

The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yahweh hid them.

and tell them, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

I looked, and saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”

You shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

You came near and stood under the mountain. The mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.

He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.

Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”

as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was in my tent,

Yes, can any understand the spreading of the clouds, and the thunderings of his pavilion?

Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also concerning the storm that comes up.

Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.

when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,

Who can count the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the containers of the sky,

He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

His tabernacle is also in Salem; His dwelling place in Zion.

Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

Yahweh is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works.

Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.

Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to Yahweh’s house, and spread it before Yahweh.

Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and will say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.

You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, ‘Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”

I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.

Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”

I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
