Psalms 78:49-59

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 tentsH168.56Yet they tempted and rebelledH4784 against the Most High GodH430,And keptH8104 not his testimonies;57But turnedH2015 backH5472, and dealtH898 treacherouslyH898 like their fathersH1:They were turnedH2015 aside like a deceitful bowH7198.58For they provokedH3707 him to angerH3707 with their highH1116 placesH1116,And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.59When GodH430 heardH8085this, he was wroth,And greatly abhorred IsraelH3478;
