Psalm 78:48-55

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴⁸ He gave over their cattle to the hail,
    and their flocks to thunderbolts.
⁴⁹ He let loose on them his fierce 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 all the firstborn in Egypt,
    the first issue of their strength in the tents of Ham.
⁵² Then he led out his people like sheep,
    and 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 hill,
    to the mountain that his right hand had won.
⁵⁵ He drove out nations before them;
    he apportioned them for a possession
    and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
