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 firstborn 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 purchased.
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.
59. When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
60. So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
61. And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the adversary's hand.
62. He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
63. Fire devoured their young men; and their maidens had no marriage-song.
64. Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
65. Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66. And he smote his adversaries backward: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
