Psalms 78:32-55

32For all this they sinnedH2398 stillH5750,And believedH539 not in his wondrous works.33Therefore their daysH3117 did he consume in vanityH1892,And their yearsH8141 in terrorH928.34When he slewH2026 them, then they inquired after him;And they returnedH7725 and soughtH1875 GodH410 earnestlyH7836.35And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697,And the Most High GodH430 their redeemerH1350.36But they flattered him with their mouthH6310,And liedH3576 unto him with their tongueH3956.37For their heartH3820 was not right with him,Neither were they faithfulH539 in his covenantH1285.38But he, being merciful, forgave theiriniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843themnot:Yea, manyH7235 a time turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725,And did not stirH5782 up all his wrathH2534.39And he rememberedH2142 that they were but fleshH1320,A windH7307 that passeth awayH7725, and cometh not again.40HowH4100 oft did they rebelH4784 against him in the wildernessH4057,And grieve him in the desert!41And they turnedH7725 again and tempted GodH410,And provoked the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.42They rememberedH2142 not his handH3027,Nor the dayH3117 when he redeemedH6299 them from the adversary;43How he setH7760 his signsH226 in EgyptH4714,And his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814,44And turnedH2015 their riversH2975 into bloodH1818,And their streams, so that they could not drinkH8354.45He sentH7971 among them swarmsH6157 of flies, which devouredH398 them;And frogsH6854, which destroyedH7843 them.46He gaveH5414 also their increase unto the caterpillar,And their labor unto the locustH697.47He destroyed their vinesH1612 with hailH1259,And their sycomore-trees with frost.48He gave over their cattle also to the hailH1259,And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.49He cast upon them the fierceness of his angerH639,WrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH7451,A band of angelsH4397 of evilH7451.50He made a pathH5410 for his angerH639;He spared not their soulH5315 from deathH4194,But gave their lifeH5315 over to the pestilenceH1698,51And smote all the first-born in EgyptH4714,The chief of their strengthH202 in the tentsH168 of HamH2526.52But he ledH5090 forth his own peopleH5971 like sheepH6629,And guided them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH6629.53And he ledH5148 them safely, so that they feared not;But the seaH3220 overwhelmed their enemiesH341.54And he broughtH935 them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944,To this mountainH2022, which his rightH3225 handH3225 had gotten.55He droveH1644 out the nationsH1471 also before them,And allotted them for an inheritanceH5159 by line,And made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.
