42And they did not remember his powerr

whens he redeemed them from the enemy,

43how he performedt his signs in Egypt

and his wonders in the region of Zoan,

44when he turned their riversu to blood

so they could not drink from their streams.

45He sent among them flies that devoured them

and frogs that destroyed them.

46And he gave their crop to the locusts

and their labor to the locust.v

47He destroyed their vines with hail

and their sycamore trees with sleet.w

48He also handed their cattle over to the hail

and their livestock to the lightning bolts.

49He sent against them his fierce anger,

rage and indignation and trouble,

a band of destroyingx angels.

50He cleared a path for his anger.

He did not spare themy from death

but handed their life over to the plague.

51And he struck down all the firstborn in Egypt,

the first of their virility in the tents of Ham.

52Then he led out his people like sheep

and guided them like a herd in the wilderness.

53And he led them safely and they were not afraid,

but the sea covered their enemies.

54So he brought them to his holy territory,z

this mountain his right hand acquired.a

55And he drove out nations before them

and allocated them for an inheritance by boundary line,

and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
