PSALMS 78:40-52

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

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

⁴²They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary.

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

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

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

⁴⁶He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

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

⁴⁸He gave over their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁹He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a band of angels of evil.

⁵⁰He made a path for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

⁵¹And smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham:

⁵²But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
