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.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
