Psalms 78:45-56

⁴⁵He sent flies among them to destroy them, and frogs to ruin everything.

⁴⁶He gave their crops to locusts; everything they worked had for was taken by locusts.

⁴⁷He destroyed their vines with hail, and their fig trees with freezing rain.

⁴⁸He handed over their cattle to hail and their flocks to lightning bolts.

⁴⁹He poured out on them his fierce anger—rage and hostility and anguish—sending a band of destroying angels against them.

⁵⁰He sent his unrestrained anger against them; he did not spare them from death, handing them over to the plague.

⁵¹He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt, the first to be conceived in the tents of Ham.

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

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

⁵⁴He brought them to the border of his holy land, to this mountainous land that he had conquered for them.

⁵⁵He drove out the heathen nations before them. He divided up the land for them to own. He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

⁵⁶But they provoked God Most High, rebelling against him. They did not follow what he had told them.
