Psalm 77:13

Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

11I will remember the LORD’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.
12I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.
13Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?
14You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.
15You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
