Context of Psalms 78:12
10They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law; 11And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them. Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 13He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; And he made the waters to stand as a heap. 14In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.
