Psalms 78:51-57 in English

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.

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.

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.
