Psalms 78:51-61

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁵⁹When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

⁶⁰So that he went away from the holy place in Shiloh, the tent which he had put among men;

⁶¹And he let his strength be taken prisoner, and gave his glory into the hands of his hater.
