Psalm 78:42–55

⁴²They did not remember his power shown

on the day he redeemed them from the foe,ⁿ

⁴³when he performed his miraculous signs in Egypt

and his wonders in the territory of Zoan.^o

⁴⁴He turned their rivers into blood,

and they could not drink from their streams.^p

⁴⁵He sent among them swarms of flies,^q

which fed on them,

and frogs, which devastated them.^r

⁴⁶He gave their crops to the caterpillar

and the fruit of their labor to the locust.^s

⁴⁷He killed their vines with hail

and their sycamore fig trees with a flood.

⁴⁸He handed over their livestock to hail

and their cattle to lightning bolts.^t

⁴⁹He sent his burning anger against them:

fury, indignation, and calamity—

a band of deadly messengers.^Bu

⁵⁰He cleared a path for his anger.

He did not spare them from death

but delivered their lives to the plague.^v

⁵¹He struck all the firstborn^w in Egypt,

the first progeny of the tents of Ham.^x

⁵²He led his people out like sheep

and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.^y

⁵³He led them safely, and they were not afraid;

but the sea covered their enemies.^z

⁵⁴He brought them to his holy territory,

to the mountain his right hand acquired.^aa

⁵⁵He drove out nations before them.^ab

He apportioned their inheritance by lot

and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.^ac
