Psalms 78:41-64

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

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

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

⁴⁴And He turneth to blood their streams, And their floods they drink not.

⁴⁵He sendeth among them the beetle, and it consumeth them, And the frog, and it destroyeth them,

⁴⁶And giveth to the caterpillar their increase, And their labour to the locust.

⁴⁷He destroyeth with hail their vine, And their sycamores with frost,

⁴⁸And delivereth up to the hail their beasts, And their cattle to the burning flames.

⁴⁹He sendeth on them the fury of His anger, Wrath, and indignation, and distress — A discharge of evil messengers.

⁵⁰He pondereth a path for His anger, He kept not back their soul from death, Yea, their life to the pestilence He delivered up.

⁵¹And He smiteth every first-born in Egypt, The first-fruit of the strong in tents of Ham.

⁵²And causeth His people to journey as a flock, And guideth them as a drove in a wilderness,

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

⁵⁴And He bringeth them in unto the border of His sanctuary, This mountain His right hand had got,

⁵⁵And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,

⁵⁶And they tempt and provoke God Most High, And His testimonies have not kept.

⁵⁷And they turn back, And deal treacherously like their fathers, They have been turned like a deceitful bow,

⁵⁸And make Him angry with their high places, And with their graven images make Him zealous,

⁵⁹God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh exceedingly against Israel.

⁶⁰And He leaveth the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men,

⁶¹And He giveth His strength to captivity, And His beauty into the hand of an adversary,

⁶²And delivereth up to the sword His people, And with His inheritance shewed Himself angry.

⁶³His young men hath fire consumed, And His virgins have not been praised.

⁶⁴His priests by the sword have fallen, And their widows weep not.
