Psalm 78:43–51

when he performed his signs in Egypt

and his marvels in the fields of Zoan.

He turned their rivers to blood,

so that they could not drink of their streams.

He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them,

and frogs, which destroyed them.

He gave their crops to the destroying locust

and the fruit of their labor to the locust.

He destroyed their vines with hail

and their sycamores with frost.

He gave over their cattle to the hail

and their flocks to thunderbolts.

He let loose on them his burning anger,

wrath, indignation, and distress,

a company of destroying angels.

He made a path for his anger;

he did not spare them from death,

but gave their lives over to the plague.

He struck down every firstborn in Egypt,

the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.

the day he displayed his signs in Egypt,

his wonders in the region of Zoan.

He turned their river into blood;

they could not drink from their streams.

He sent swarms of flies that devoured them,

and frogs that devastated them.

He gave their crops to the grasshopper,

their produce to the locust.

He destroyed their vines with hail

and their sycamore-figs with sleet.

He gave over their cattle to the hail,

their livestock to bolts of lightning.

He unleashed against them his hot anger,

his wrath, indignation and hostility—

a band of destroying angels.

He prepared a path for his anger;

he did not spare them from death

but gave them over to the plague.

He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,

the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.

They did not remember his miraculous signs in Egypt,

his wonders on the plain of Zoan.

For he turned their rivers into blood,

so no one could drink from the streams.

He sent vast swarms of flies to consume them

and hordes of frogs to ruin them.

He gave their crops to caterpillars;

their harvest was consumed by locusts.

He destroyed their grapevines with hail

and shattered their sycamore-figs with sleet.

He abandoned their cattle to the hail,

their livestock to bolts of lightning.

He loosed on them his fierce anger—

all his fury, rage, and hostility.

He dispatched against them

a band of destroying angels.

He turned his anger against them;

he did not spare the Egyptians’ lives

but ravaged them with the plague.

He killed the oldest son in each Egyptian family,

the flower of youth throughout the land of Egypt.

how he performed his signs in Egypt

and his wonders in the region of Zoan,

when he turned their rivers to blood

so they could not drink from their streams.

He sent among them flies that devoured them

and frogs that destroyed them.

And he gave their crop to the locusts

and their labor to the locust.

He destroyed their vines with hail

and their sycamore trees with sleet.

He also handed their cattle over to the hail

and their livestock to the lightning bolts.

He sent against them his fierce anger,

rage and indignation and trouble,

a band of destroying angels.

He cleared a path for his anger.

He did not spare them from death

but handed their life over to the plague.

And he struck down all the firstborn in Egypt,

the first of their virility in the tents of Ham.

How he had wrought his signs in Egypt,

And his wonders in the field of Zoan:

And had turned their rivers into blood;

And their floods, that they could not drink.

He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them;

And frogs, which destroyed them.

He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller,

And their labour unto the locust.

He destroyed their vines with hail,

And their sycomore trees with frost.

He gave up their cattle also to the hail,

And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,

Wrath, and indignation, and trouble,

By sending evil angels among them.

He made a way to his anger;

He spared not their soul from death,

But gave their life over to the pestilence;

And smote all the firstborn in Egypt;

The chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
