David's song to Yahweh continues. He uses parallelism to emphasize what he is saying. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
From the lightning before him...ligtning bolts and dispersed them
David continues describing Yahweh, who is coming to save him from his enemies, as a storm. This emphasizes God's power and anger towards David's enemies. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
From the lightning before him Coals of fire fell
AT: "Out of his bright light he sent burning coals" or "From his brightness he sent lightning"
He shot arrows...lightning bolts
David compares the lightning from Yahweh's storm to arrows that a soldier would use.
