Psalm 77:43–68

⁴³How he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Tanis.

⁴⁴And he turned their rivers into blood, and their showers that they might not drink.

⁴⁵He sent amongst them divers sorts of flies, which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them.

⁴⁶And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to the locust.

⁴⁷And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.

⁴⁸And he gave up their cattle to the hail, and their stock to the fire.

⁴⁹And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.

⁵⁰He made a way for a path to his anger: he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.

⁵¹And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.

⁵²And he took away his own people as sheep: and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³And he brought them out in hope and they feared not: and the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: the mountain which his right hand had purchased. And he cast out the Gentiles before them: and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.

⁵⁵And he made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.

⁵⁶Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: and they kept not his testimonies.

⁵⁷And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.

⁵⁸They provoked him to anger on their hills: and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.

⁵⁹God heard, and despised them, and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing.

⁶⁰And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, his tabernacle where he dwelt among men.

⁶¹And he delivered their strength into captivity: and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.

⁶²And he shut up his people under the sword: and he despised his inheritance.

⁶³Fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not lamented.

⁶⁴Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn.

⁶⁵And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.

⁶⁶And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: he put them to an everlasting reproach.

⁶⁷And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

⁶⁸But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved.
