Psalms 78:38-48

38But He, the source of compassion and lovingkindness, forgave their wickedness and did not destroy them; Many times He restrained His anger And did not stir up all His wrath.

39For He [graciously] remembered that they were mere [human] flesh, A wind that goes and does not return.

40How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness And grieved Him in the desert!

41Again and again they tempted God, And distressed the Holy One of Israel.

42They did not remember [the miracles worked by] His [powerful] hand, Nor the day when He redeemed them from the enemy,

43How He worked His miracles in Egypt And His wonders in the field of Zoan [where Pharaoh resided],

44And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.

45He sent among them swarms of flies which devoured them, And frogs which destroyed them.

46He also gave their crops to the grasshopper, And the fruit of their labor to the locust.

47He destroyed their vines with [great] hailstones And their sycamore trees with frost.

48He gave over their cattle also to the hailstones, And their flocks and herds to thunderbolts.
