Psalms 18:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 18:8
The theophany intensifies: smoke from God's nostrils, devouring fire from His mouth, glowing coals. This anthropomorphic language portrays God's fierce response to injustice against His anointed. The Hebrew 'ashan' (smoke) and 'esh' (fire) recall Sinai's burning mountain and anticipate Revelation's throne room imagery. Reformed theology uses such language analogically—God's wrath is real though described in human terms.
