Psalm 105:26–38

²⁶The Lord sent his servant Moses to the king of Egypt.

He sent Aaron, his chosen one, along with him.

²⁷The Lord gave them the power to do miraculous signs among the Egyptians.

They did his wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸He sent darkness over the land.

He did it because the Egyptians had refused to obey his words.

²⁹He turned their rivers and streams into blood.

He caused the fish in them to die.

³⁰Their land was covered with frogs.

Frogs even went into the bedrooms of the rulers.

³¹The Lord spoke, and large numbers of flies came.

Gnats filled the whole country.

³²He turned their rain into hail.

Lightning flashed all through their land.

³³He destroyed their vines and fig trees.

He broke down the trees in Egypt.

³⁴He spoke, and the locusts came.

There were so many of them they couldn’t be counted.

³⁵They ate up every green thing in the land.

They ate up what the land produced.

³⁶Then he killed the oldest son of every family in Egypt.

He struck down the oldest of all of their sons.

³⁷He brought the people of Israel out of Egypt.

The Egyptians loaded them down with silver and gold.

From among the tribes of Israel no one got tired or fell down.

³⁸The Egyptians were glad when the people of Israel left.

They were terrified because of Israel.
