Psalms 135:6
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.
5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.
