Psalms 78:40-53 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.

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

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

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

⁵¹ And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

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

⁵³ And he led them safely, so that they feared not; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

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.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

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

⁵¹ And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

⁵² But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³ And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

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.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

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

⁵¹ And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

⁵² But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³ And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

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, 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 caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

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

⁵³ And he led them safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁴⁰ Many times our ancestors rebelled against God in the desert and caused him to become very sad.

⁴¹ Many times they did evil things, to find out if they could do those things without God punishing them. They frequently caused the holy God of Israel to become disgusted/sad.

⁴² They forgot about his great power, and they ◄forgot/did not think► about the time when he rescued them from their enemies.

⁴³ They forgot about when he performed many miracles in the area near Zoan city in Egypt.

⁴⁴ He caused the Nile River (OR, their sources of water) to become red like blood, with the result that the people of Egypt had no water to drink.

⁴⁵ He sent among the people of Egypt swarms of flies that bit them, and he sent frogs that ate up everything.

⁴⁶ He sent locusts to eat their crops and the other things that grew in their fields.

⁴⁷ He sent hail that destroyed the grapevines, and sent frost that ruined the figs.

⁴⁸ He sent hail that killed their cattle and sent lightning that killed their sheep and cows.

⁴⁹ Because God was fiercely angry with the people of Egypt, he caused them to be very distressed. The disasters that struck them were like a group of angels that destroyed everything.

⁵⁰ He did not lessen his being angry with them, and he did not ◄spare their lives/prevent them from dying►; he sent a ◄plague/serious illness► that killed many of them.

⁵¹ He also caused all the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt to die.

⁵² Then he led his people out of Egypt like a shepherd leads his sheep SIM, and he guided them while they walked through the desert.

⁵³ He led them safely, and they were not afraid, but their enemies were drowned in the sea.

⁴⁰ How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!

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

⁴² They didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

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

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

⁴⁶ He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.

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

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

⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

⁵¹ and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

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

⁵³ He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

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

⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

⁵¹ and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

⁵³ He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵³ He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁴⁰ How frequently did they go against him in the waste land, and give him cause for grief in the dry places!

⁴¹ Again they put God to the test, and gave pain to the Holy One of Israel.

⁴² They did not keep in mind the work of his hand, or the day when he took them from the power of their haters;

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

⁴⁴ So that their rivers were turned to blood, and they were not able to get drink from their streams.

⁴⁵ He sent different sorts of flies among them, poisoning their flesh; and frogs for their destruction.

⁴⁶ He gave the increase of their fields to worms, the fruits of their industry to the locusts.

⁴⁷ He sent ice for the destruction of their vines; their trees were damaged by the bitter cold.

⁴⁸ Ice was rained down on their cattle; thunderstorms sent destruction among the flocks.

⁴⁹ He sent on them the heat of his wrath, his bitter disgust, letting loose evil angels among them.

⁵⁰ He let his wrath have its way; he did not keep back their soul from death, but gave their life to disease.

⁵¹ He gave to destruction all the first sons of Egypt; the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;

⁵² But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.

⁵³ He took them on safely so that they had no fear; but their haters were covered by the sea.

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

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

⁵¹ And he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the first-fruits of their vigour in the tents of Ham.

⁵² And he made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

⁵³ And he led them safely, so that they were without fear; and the sea covered their enemies.

⁴⁰ How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, giving him grief in the desert!

⁴¹ Again and again they provoked God, causing pain to the Holy One of Israel.

⁴² They did not remember his strength when he rescued them from their oppressors,

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

⁵³ He led them to safety, and they were not afraid. He drowned their enemies in the sea.

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

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

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

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

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

⁵³ Yea, he caried them out safely, and they feared not, and the Sea couered their enemies.

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

⁴¹ And still again they tried God, and set bounds to 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, so that they could not drink their streams.

⁵¹ And smote all the first-born in Egypt, the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;

⁵² But He made His own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³ And He led them safely, and they feared not; but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵³ And he led them forth in hope, and they dreaded not; and the sea covered the enemies of them. (And he led them forth in hope, and they were not afraid; and the sea covered their enemies.)

⁴⁰ How often do they provoke Him in the wilderness, Grieve Him in the desolate place?

⁴¹ Yea, they turn back, and try God, And the Holy One of Israel have limited.

⁴² They have not remembered His hand The day He ransomed them from the adversary.

⁴³ When He set His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan,

⁵³ And He leadeth them confidently, And they have not been afraid, And their enemies hath the sea covered.
