Nehemiah 9:10-12
New English Translation

10 You performed awesome signs[a] against Pharaoh, against his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that the Egyptians[b] had acted presumptuously[c] against them. You made for yourself a name that is celebrated to this day. 11 You split the sea before them, and they crossed through[d] the sea on dry ground. But you threw their pursuers[e] into the depths, like a stone into surging[f] waters. 12 You guided them with a pillar of cloud by day and with a pillar of fire by night to illumine for them the path they were to travel.
