Psalm 78:42–55

⁴²They remembered not his hand, the day when he delivered them from the oppressor, ⁴³How he set his signs in Egypt, and his miracles in the field of Zoan; ⁴⁴And turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, that they could not drink; ⁴⁵He sent dog-flies among them, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them; ⁴⁶And he gave their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust; ⁴⁷He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with hail-stones; ⁴⁸And he delivered up their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts. ⁴⁹He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and distress, —a mission of angels of woes. ⁵⁰He made a way for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; ⁵¹And he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the first-fruits of their vigour in the tents of Ham. ⁵²And he made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock; ⁵³And he led them safely, so that they were without fear; and the sea covered their enemies. ⁵⁴And he brought them to his holy border, this mountain, which his right hand purchased; ⁵⁵And he drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
