Psalm 78:46-58

New King James Version

⁴⁶He also gave their crops to the caterpillar,
And their labor to the ^(A)locust.
⁴⁷^(B)He destroyed their vines with hail,
And their sycamore trees with frost.
⁴⁸He also gave up their ^(C)cattle to the hail,
And their flocks to fiery ^[a]lightning.
⁴⁹He cast on them the fierceness of His anger,
Wrath, indignation, and trouble,
By sending angels of destruction among them.
⁵⁰He made a path for His anger;
He did not spare their soul from death,
But gave ^[b]their life over to the plague,
⁵¹And destroyed all the ^(D)firstborn in Egypt,
The first of their strength in the tents of Ham.
⁵²But He ^(E)made His own people go forth like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
⁵³And He ^(F)led them on safely, so that they did not fear;
But the sea ^(G)overwhelmed their enemies.
⁵⁴And He brought them to His ^(H)holy border,
This mountain ^(I)which His right hand had acquired.
⁵⁵^(J)He also drove out the nations before them,
^(K)Allotted them an inheritance by ^[c]survey,
And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶^(L)Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God,
And did not keep His testimonies,
⁵⁷But ^(M)turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers;
They were turned aside ^(N)like a deceitful bow.
⁵⁸^(O)For they provoked Him to anger with their ^(P)high places,
And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.
