Psalms 135:7
5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
6 The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
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.
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
