Psalm 78:43–68

43 When He performed His asigns in Egypt

And His bmarvels in the field of Zoan,

44 And aturned their rivers to blood,

And their streams, they could not drink.

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

And bfrogs which destroyed them.

46 He gave also their crops to the agrasshopper

And the product of their labor to the blocust.

47 He 1destroyed their vines with ahailstones

And their sycamore trees with frost.

48 He gave over their acattle also to the hailstones

And their herds to bolts of lightning.

49 He asent upon them His burning anger,

Fury and indignation and trouble,

1A band of destroying angels.

50 He leveled a path for His anger;

He did not spare their soul from death,

But agave over their life to the plague,

51 And asmote all the firstborn in Egypt,

The bfirst issue of their virility in the tents of cHam.

52 But He aled forth His own people like sheep

And guided them in the wilderness blike a flock;

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

But bthe sea engulfed their enemies.

54 So aHe brought them to His holy 1land,

To this 2bhill country cwhich His right hand had gained.

55 He 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.

56 Yet they 1atempted and brebelled against the Most High God

And did not keep His testimonies,

57 But turned back and aacted treacherously like their fathers;

They bturned aside like a treacherous bow.

58 For they aprovoked Him with their bhigh places

And caroused His jealousy with their dgraven images.

59 When God heard, He 1was filled with awrath

And greatly babhorred Israel;

60 So that He aabandoned the bdwelling place at Shiloh,

The tent 1which He had pitched among men,

61 And gave up His astrength to captivity

And His glory binto the hand of the adversary.

62 He also adelivered His people to the sword,

And 1was filled with wrath at His inheritance.

63 aFire devoured 1His young men,

And 1His bvirgins had no wedding songs.

64 1His apriests fell by the sword,

And 1His bwidows could not weep.

65 Then the Lord aawoke as if from sleep,

Like a bwarrior 1overcome by wine.

66 He 1adrove His adversaries backward;

He put on them an everlasting reproach.

67 He also arejected the tent of Joseph,

And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

68 But chose the tribe of Judah,

Mount aZion which He loved.
