Psalm 78:42–55

⁴²They ^adid not remember ^bHis ¹power,

The day when He ^credeemed them from the adversary,

⁴³When He performed His ^asigns in Egypt

And His ^bmiracles in the field of Zoan,

⁴⁴And ^aturned their rivers to blood,

And their streams, they could not drink.

⁴⁵He sent among them swarms of ^aflies which devoured them,

And ^bfrogs which destroyed them.

⁴⁶He gave also their crops to the ^agrasshopper

And the fruit of their labor to the ^blocust.

⁴⁷He killed their vines with ^ahailstones

And their sycamore trees with frost.

⁴⁸He gave over their ^acattle also to the hailstones

And their herds to bolts of lightning.

⁴⁹He ^asent upon them His burning anger,

Fury and indignation and ¹distress,

²A band of destroying angels.

⁵⁰He leveled a path for His anger;

He did not hold back their soul from death,

But ^agave over their life to the plague,

⁵¹So He ^astruck all the firstborn in Egypt,

The ^bfirst of their vigor in the tents of ^cHam.

⁵²But He ^aled forth His own people like sheep

And guided them in the wilderness ^blike a flock;

⁵³He led them ^asafely, so that they did not fear;

But ^bthe sea covered their enemies.

⁵⁴So ^aHe brought them to His holy ¹land,

To this ^2bhill country ^cwhich His right hand had acquired.

⁵⁵He also ^adrove out the nations before them

And ^bapportioned them for an inheritance by measurement,

And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
