Psalms 78:40-47 in English

⁴⁰ How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!

⁴¹ And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

⁴² They remembered not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

⁴³ How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,

⁴⁴ And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.

⁴⁵ He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them.

⁴⁶ He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost.

⁴⁰ How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

⁴¹ Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

⁴² They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

⁴³ How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

⁴⁴ And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
