Psalms 78:51-61 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

51. And he struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, the first of their virility in the tents of Ham.

52. Then he led out his people like sheep and guided them like a herd in the wilderness.

53. And he led them safely and they were not afraid, but the sea covered their enemies.

54. So he brought them to his holy territory, this mountain his right hand acquired.

55. And he drove out nations before them and allocated them for an inheritance by boundary line, and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

56. But they tested and rebelled against God Most High and did not keep his statutes.

57. And they turned and were treacherous like their ancestors. They twisted like a crooked bow.

58. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and made him jealous with their images.

59. God heard and he was very angry and rejected Israel utterly.

60. So he abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh, the tent he had placed among humankind.

61. And he gave his strength into captivity and his splendor into the hand of the enemy.
