Psalms 77:19
17 The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.
18 Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.
20 You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
