Psalms 78:47-58 in English

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.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.

⁵⁵ He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;

⁵⁷ But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

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

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.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

⁵⁵ He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

⁵⁷ But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

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

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

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.

⁵⁴ Later he brought them to Canaan, his sacred land, to Zion Hill (OR, the hilly area) and by his power MTY he enabled them to conquer the people who were living there.

⁵⁵ He expelled the people-groups while his people were advancing; he allotted part of the land for each tribe to possess, and he gave to the Israeli people the houses of those people who had been expelled.

⁵⁶ However, the Israeli people rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god, and they did many evil things to see if they could do those things without God punishing them, and they did not obey his commandments.

⁵⁷ Instead, like their ancestors did, they rebelled against God and ◄were not loyal to/did not faithfully obey► him; they were as unreliable as a crooked arrow that does not go straight SIM.

⁵⁸ Because they worshiped carved images of their gods on the tops of hills, they caused God to become angry DOU.

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,

⁵⁴ He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

⁵⁵ He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,

⁵⁷ but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were twisted like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.

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.

⁵⁴ And he was their guide to his holy land, even to the mountain, which his right hand had made his;

⁵⁵ Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.

⁵⁶ But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;

⁵⁷ Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.

⁵⁸ They made him angry with their high places; moving him to wrath with their images.

⁴⁷ He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with hail-stones;

⁴⁸ And he delivered up their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts.

⁴⁹ He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and distress, — a mission of angels of woes.

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.

⁵⁴ And he brought them to his holy border, this mountain, which his right hand purchased;

⁵⁵ And he drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

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

⁵⁵ He 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.

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

⁵⁷ Just like their forefathers they turned away from God and were unfaithful to him, as twisted as a defective bow.

⁵⁸ They made him angry with their pagan high places of worship; they made him jealous with their idols.

⁴⁷ He destroied their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.
