Habakkuk 3:10

8 Were You angry at the rivers, O LORD? Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation?

9 You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers.

The mountains saw You and quaked; torrents of water swept by. The deep roared with its voice and lifted its hands on high.

11 Sun and moon stood still in their places at the flash of Your flying arrows, at the brightness of Your shining spear.

12 You marched across the earth with fury; You threshed the nations in wrath.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
