Psalm 77:15-17
New English Translation

15 You delivered[a] your people by your strength[b]—
the children of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 The waters[c] saw you, O God,
the waters saw you and trembled.[d]
Yes, the depths of the sea[e] shook with fear.[f]
17 The clouds poured down rain;[g]
the skies thundered.[h]
Yes, your arrows[i] flashed about.
