And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. The poetry describes divine intervention through images of earthquake, smoke, fire, darkness, and heavenly descent. These images should not be reduced to a meteorological description; they form poetic theophanic language communicating God’s majesty entering into action. The Lord appears as a sovereign warrior who hears David’s cry and brings him out of deep waters. The king’s deliverance thus becomes a manifestation of divine power.

Er schoß seine Strahlen und zerstreute sie; er ließ blitzen und erschreckte sie.
Arrojó saetas, y desbaratolos; Relampagueó, y consumiolos.
Envió flechas y los dispersó; lanzó un relámpago y los confundió.
Il lança des flèches et dispersa mes ennemis, La foudre, et les mit en déroute.
Ed avventò saette, e disperse coloro; Folgore, e li mise in rotta.
E disparou flechas, e os dissipou; raios, e os perturbou.
他射出箭來,使仇敵四散; 發出閃電,擊潰他們。
