Psalms 78:32-55
32In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.33So He ended their days in futility,1 and their years in sudden terror.34When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.35And they remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High2 was their Redeemer.
36But they deceived Him with their mouths,and lied to Him with their tongues.37Their hearts were disloyal to Him,and they were unfaithful to His covenant.
38And yet He was compassionate;He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them.He often restrained His angerand did not unleash His full wrath.39He remembered that they were but flesh,a passing breeze that does not return.
40How often they disobeyed Him in the wildernessand grieved Him in the desert!41Again and again they tested Godand provoked the Holy One of Israel.42They did not remember His power3—the day He redeemed them from the adversary,43when He performed His signs in Egyptand His wonders in the fields of Zoan.
44He turned their rivers to blood,and from their streams they could not drink.45He sent swarms of flies that devoured them,and frogs that devastated them.46He gave their crops to the grasshopper,the fruit of their labor to the locust.47He killed their vines with hailstonesand their sycamore-figs with sleet.448He abandoned their cattle to the hailand their livestock to bolts of lightning.
49He unleashed His fury against them,wrath, indignation, and calamity—a band of destroying angels.50He cleared a path for His anger;He did not spare them from deathbut delivered their lives to the plague.51He struck all the firstborn of Egypt,the virility in the tents of Ham.
52He led out His people like sheepand guided them like a flock in the wilderness.53He led them safely, so they did not fear,but the sea engulfed their enemies.54He brought them to His holy land,to the mountain His right hand had acquired.55He drove out nations before themand apportioned their inheritance;He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
