Psalms 77:15
13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.
With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16 The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.
17 The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.
