Salmene 74,14

12 Likevel er Gud min konge fra lenge siden,
Som utfører frelsens gjerninger midt på jorden.

13 Du delte havet ved din styrke;
Du knuste hodene på havdyrene i vannet.

Du knuste hodene på Leviatan;
Du ga ham som mat til skapningene i ørkenen.

15 Du åpnet kilder og strømmer;
Du tørket opp evige bekker.

16 Din er dagen, din er også natten;
Du har satt på plass lyset og solen.

Read the whole chapter

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.
