Tehillim 78:36-54 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

36. Nevertheless they did flatter Him with their mouth, and they lied unto Him with their leshon.

37. For their lev was not right with Him, neither were they faithful in His Brit.

38. But He, being full of compassion, made kapporah for their avon and destroyed them not; and He many times turned His anger away, and did not stir up all His wrath.

39. For He remembered that they were but basar; a ruach (wind) that passeth away, and cometh not again.

40. How oft did they provoke Him in the midbar, and grieve Him in the desert!

41. Again and again they turned back and tested G-d, and imposed limits on Kadosh Yisroel.

42. They remembered not His Yad (Hand, Power), nor the yom (day) when He redeemed them from the enemy.

43. How He had wrought His otot in Mitzrayim, and His mofetim in the area of Tzoan.

44. And had turned their rivers into dahm; and their streams, that they could not drink.

45. He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them; and tzfarde'a (frogs), which destroyed them.

46. He gave also their crop unto the grasshopper, and their produce unto the arbeh (locust).

47. He destroyed their gefen with barad (hail), and their fig trees with frost.

48. He gave up their cattle also to the barad (hail), and their livestock herds to hot thunderbolts.

49. He cast upon them His charon af, evrah (wrath), and za'am (indignation), and tzarah, by sending malachim ra'im among them.

50. He made a way for His anger; He spared not their nefesh from mavet (death), but gave their beasts over to the dever (plague);

51. And struck all the bechor in Mitzrayim; the reshit (first fruit) of their strength in the ohalim of Cham;

52. But made His own people to go forth like tzon, and guided them in the midbar like an eder (flock).

53. And He led them in safety, so that they had no terror; but the yam overwhelmed their oyevim.

54. And He brought them to His gevul kadosh (His holy border), even to this Har, which His Yamin had purchased.
