Psalms 78:29-49

²⁹So they did eate and were well filled: for he gaue them their desire.

³⁰They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,

³¹When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.

³²For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.

³³Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.

³⁴And when hee slewe them, they sought him and they returned, and sought God earely.

³⁵And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer.

³⁶But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.

³⁷For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.

³⁸Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, and destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.

³⁹For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.

⁴⁰How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?

⁴¹Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holie one of Israel.

⁴²They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he deliuered them from the enemie,

⁴³Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,

⁴⁴And turned their riuers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drinke.

⁴⁵Hee sent a swarme of flies among them, which deuoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.

⁴⁶He gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and their labour vnto the grassehopper.

⁴⁷He destroied their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.

⁴⁸He gaue their cattell also to the haile, and their flockes to the thunderboltes.

⁴⁹Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels.
