Psalm 78:40-52

New King James Version

⁴⁰ How often they ^(A)provoked^[a] Him in the wilderness,
And grieved Him in the desert!
⁴¹ Yes, ^(B)again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.
⁴² They did not remember His ^[b]power:
The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,
⁴³ When He worked His signs in Egypt,
And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
^44 (C)Turned their rivers into blood,
And their streams, that they could not drink.
^45 (D)He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,
And ^(E)frogs, which destroyed them.
⁴⁶ He also gave their crops to the caterpillar,
And their labor to the ^(F)locust.
^47 (G)He destroyed their vines with hail,
And their sycamore trees with frost.
⁴⁸ He also gave up their ^(H)cattle to the hail,
And their flocks to fiery ^[c]lightning.
⁴⁹ He cast on them the fierceness of His anger,
Wrath, indignation, and trouble,
By sending angels of destruction among them.
⁵⁰ He made a path for His anger;
He did not spare their soul from death,
But gave ^[d]their life over to the plague,
⁵¹ And destroyed all the ^(I)firstborn in Egypt,
The first of their strength in the tents of Ham.
⁵² But He ^(J)made His own people go forth like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
