Psalm 78:42-61 English Standard Version (ESV)

42. They did not remember his poweror the day when he redeemed them from the foe,

43. when he performed his signs in Egyptand his marvels in the fields of Zoan.

44. He turned their rivers to blood,so that they could not drink of their streams.

45. He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them,and frogs, which destroyed them.

46. He gave their crops to the destroying locustand the fruit of their labor to the locust.

47. He destroyed their vines with hailand their sycamores with frost.

48. He gave over their cattle to the hailand their flocks to thunderbolts.

49. He let loose on them his burning anger,wrath, indignation, and distress,a company of destroying angels.

50. He made a path for his anger;he did not spare them from death,but gave their lives over to the plague.

51. He struck down every firstborn in Egypt,the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52. Then he led out his people like sheepand guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

53. He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid,but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54. And he brought them to his holy land, to the mountain which his right hand had won.

55. He drove out nations before them;he apportioned them for a possessionand settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

56. Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High Godand did not keep his testimonies,

57. but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;they twisted like a deceitful bow.

58. For they provoked him to anger with their high places;they moved him to jealousy with their idols.

59. When God heard, he was full of wrath,and he utterly rejected Israel.

60. He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh,the tent where he dwelt among mankind,

61. and delivered his power to captivity,his glory to the hand of the foe.
