Holy Scripture
Psalms 17:8
A church father on this verse
“The written words say that God has wings.… But we will not on that account say that God's spiritual and indestructible essence is winged.… What, then, are we to understand by the wings? The help, security, shelter, defense and unconquerable aid that God gives us.”

8Then the earth shook and quaked, And the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, And were shaken, because God was angry with them.

In context
6The pangs of hell came round about me: The snares of death prevented me.
7And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, And cried to my God: He heard my voice out of his holy temple, And my cry shall enter before him, even into his ears.
— Psalms 17:8 —
9There went up a smoke in his wrath, And fire burst into a flame at his presence: Coals were kindled at it.
10And he bowed the heaven, and came down: And thick darkness was under his feet.
