48 He gave over their cattle to the hail,
    their livestock(A) to bolts of lightning.
49 He unleashed against them his hot anger,(B)
    his wrath, indignation and hostility—
    a band of destroying angels.(C)
50 He prepared a path for his anger;
    he did not spare them from death
    but gave them over to the plague.
51 He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,(D)
    the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.(E)
52 But he brought his people out like a flock;(F)
    he led them like sheep through the wilderness.
53 He guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
    but the sea engulfed(G) their enemies.(H)
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
    to the hill country his right hand(I) had taken.
55 He drove out nations(J) before them
    and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;(K)
    he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
