Psalm 78:43-51
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
43 [a]When he performed his signs in Egypt,
his wonders in the plain of Zoan.(A)
44 God turned their rivers to blood;
their streams they could not drink.
45 He sent swarms of insects that devoured them,(B)
frogs that destroyed them.
46 He gave their harvest to the caterpillar,
the fruits of their labor to the locust.
47 He killed their vines with hail,(C)
their sycamores with frost.
48 He exposed their cattle to plague,
their flocks to pestilence.(D)
49 He let loose against them the heat of his anger,
wrath, fury, and distress,
a band of deadly messengers.
50 He cleared a path for his anger;
he did not spare them from death,
but delivered their animals to the plague.
51 He struck all the firstborn of Egypt,(E)
the first fruits of their vigor in the tents of Ham.
