Psalm 78:43-55

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴³ when He performed His miraculous signs in Egypt
and His wonders in the region of Zoan.^(A)
44 He turned their rivers into blood,
and they could not drink from their streams.^(B)
45 He sent among them swarms of flies,^(C)
which fed on them,
and frogs, which devastated them.^(D)
46 He gave their crops to the caterpillar
and the fruit of their labor to the locust.^(E)
47 He killed their vines with hail
and their sycamore fig trees with a flood.
⁴⁸ He handed over their livestock to hail
and their cattle to lightning bolts.^(F)
49 He sent His burning anger against them:
fury, indignation, and calamity—
a band of deadly messengers.^[a](G)
50 He cleared a path for His anger.
He did not spare them from death
but delivered their lives to the plague.^(H)
51 He struck all the firstborn^(I) in Egypt,
the first progeny of the tents of Ham.^[b](J)
52 He led His people out like sheep
and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.^(K)
53 He led them safely, and they were not afraid;
but the sea covered their enemies.^(L)
54 He brought them to His holy land,
to the mountain His right hand acquired.^(M)
55 He drove out nations before them.^(N)
He apportioned their inheritance by lot
and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.^(O)
