Psalm 78:42–55

⁴²They did not keep in mind his power

or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,

⁴³when he displayed his signs in Egypt

and his miracles in the fields of Zoan.

⁴⁴He turned their rivers to blood,

so that they could not drink of their streams.^*

⁴⁵He sent among them swarms of flies that devoured them

and frogs that destroyed them.^*

⁴⁶He gave their crops to the caterpillar

and the fruit of their labor to the locust.

⁴⁷He destroyed their vines with hail

and their sycamores with frost.^*

⁴⁸He gave over their cattle to the hail

and their flocks to thunderbolts.^*

⁴⁹He let loose on them his fierce anger,

wrath, indignation, and distress,

a company of destroying angels.^*

⁵⁰He made a path for his anger;

he did not spare them from death

but gave their lives over to the plague.

⁵¹He struck all the firstborn in Egypt,

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

⁵²Then he led out his people like sheep

and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.^*

⁵³He led them in safety so that they were not afraid,

but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.^*

⁵⁴And he brought them to his holy hill,

to the mountain that his right hand had won.^*

⁵⁵He drove out nations before them;

he apportioned them for a possession

and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.^*
