Psalm 78:49–52

49 He unleashed against them his hot anger,

his wrath, indignation and hostility—

a band of destroying angels.

50 He prepared a path for his anger;

he did not spare them from death

but gave them over to the plague.

51 He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,

the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.

52 But he brought his people out like a flock;

he led them like sheep through the wilderness.

49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,

Wrath, and indignation, and trouble,

By sending evil angels among them.

50 He made a way to his anger;

He spared not their soul from death,

But gave their life over to the pestilence;

51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt;

The chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep,

And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

49 He loosed on them his fierce anger—

all his fury, rage, and hostility.

He dispatched against them

a band of destroying angels.

50 He turned his anger against them;

he did not spare the Egyptians’ lives

but ravaged them with the plague.

51 He killed the oldest son in each Egyptian family,

the flower of youth throughout the land of Egypt.

52 But he led his own people like a flock of sheep,

guiding them safely through the wilderness.

49 He cast on them the fierceness of His anger,

Wrath, indignation, and trouble,

By sending angels of destruction among them.

50 He made a path for His anger;

He did not spare their soul from death,

But gave their life over to the plague,

51 And destroyed all the firstborn in Egypt,

The first of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52 But He made His own people go forth like sheep,

And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

49 He showed them his hot anger.

He sent his strong anger against them,

his destroying angels.

50 He found a way to show his anger.

He did not keep them from dying

but let them die by a terrible disease.

51 God killed all the firstborn sons in Egypt,

the oldest son of each family of Ham.

52 But God led his people out like sheep

and he guided them like a flock through the desert.

49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,

Wrath, and indignation, and trouble,

A band of angels of evil.

50 He made a path for his anger;

He spared not their soul from death,

But gave their life over to the pestilence,

51 And smote all the first-born in Egypt,

The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52 But he led forth his own people like sheep,

And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and distress, —a mission of angels of woes. 50 He made a way for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; 51 And he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the first-fruits of their vigour in the tents of Ham. 52 And he made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

49 He sent his burning anger, rage, fury, and hostility against them. 

He sent an army of destroying angels. 

50 He cleared a path for his anger. 

He did not spare them. 

He let the plague take their lives. 

51 He slaughtered every firstborn in Egypt, 

the ones born in the tents of Ham when their fathers were young. 

52 But he led his own people out like sheep 

and guided them like a flock through the wilderness. 

49 He sent His burning anger against them:

fury, indignation, and calamity—

a band of deadly messengers.

50 He cleared a path for His anger.

He did not spare them from death

but delivered their lives to the plague.

51 He struck all the firstborn in Egypt,

the first progeny of the tents of Ham.

52 He led His people out like sheep

and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

49 He let loose on them his fierce anger,

wrath, indignation, and distress,

a company of destroying angels.

50 He made a path for his anger;

he did not spare them from death

but gave their lives over to the plague.

51 He struck all the firstborn in Egypt,

the first issue of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52 Then he led out his people like sheep

and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

49 He sent against them his fierce anger,

rage and indignation and trouble,

a band of destroying angels.

50 He cleared a path for his anger.

He did not spare them from death

but handed their life over to the plague.

51 And he struck down all the firstborn in Egypt,

the first of their virility in the tents of Ham.

52 Then he led out his people like sheep

and guided them like a herd in the wilderness.

49 He brought great trouble on Egypt by pouring out his blazing anger.

In his hot anger he sent destroying angels against them.

50 God prepared a path for his anger.

He didn’t spare their lives.

He gave them over to the plague.

51 He killed the oldest son of each family in Egypt.

He struck down the oldest son in every house in the land of Ham.

52 But he brought his people out like a flock.

He led them like sheep through the desert.

49 He sent upon them His burning anger,

Fury and indignation and trouble,

A band of destroying angels.

50 He leveled a path for His anger;

He did not spare their soul from death,

But gave over their life to the plague,

51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt,

The first issue of their virility in the tents of Ham.

52 But He led forth His own people like sheep

And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
