Context of Psalms 78:12
10They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; 11And forgot his doings, and his marvellous works which he had shewn them. In the sight of their fathers had he done wonders, in the land of Egypt, the field of Zoan. 13He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and made the waters to stand as a heap; 14And he led them with a cloud in the daytime, and all the night with the light of fire.
