God of Lightning

The earth trembled and quaked,

the foundations of the heavens shook;

they trembled because he was angry.

Smoke rose from his nostrils;

consuming fire came from his mouth,

burning coals blazed out of it.

He parted the heavens and came down;

dark clouds were under his feet.

He mounted the cherubim and flew;

he soared on the wings of the wind.

He made darkness his canopy around him—

the dark rain clouds of the sky.

Out of the brightness of his presence bolts

of lightning blazed forth.

The LORD thundered from heaven;

the voice of the Most High resounded.

He shot arrows and scattered the enemies,

bolts of lightning and routed them.

The valleys of the sea were exposed and

the foundations of the earth laid bare

at the rebuke of the LORD, at the

blast of breath from his nostrils.

2 Sam 22:8-16

I call the mighty, holy, splendid, light, aerial, dreadful-sounding, fiery-bright, flaming, ethereal light, with angry voice, lighting through lucid clouds with crashing noise.

Untamed, to whom resentments dire belong, pure, holy power, all-parent, great and strong: come, and benevolent these rites attend, and grant the mortal life a pleasing end.
