"In your distress you called and I rescued you,
I answered you out of a thunderclou…" – Psalm 81:7a (NIV)

I like the NKJV on this as well:
"You called in trouble, and I delivered you;
I answered you in the secret place of thunde … "

The secret place of thunder ….

The Message puts it this way:
" I answered you from where the thunder hides …"

No matter how I read it, it grabs me.

I have stood under thunder clouds in wonder.
I have shuddered at them in the distance.
I have also heard the Voice in times of distress.
I have been startled and staggered by them

And comforted …. comforted … comforted.
