Psalms 78:38-64

38And yet HeH1931 was compassionateH7349; He forgaveH3722 their iniquityH5771 and did notH3808 destroy themH7843. He oftenH7235 restrained His angerH639 H7725 and did notH3808 unleashH5782 His full wrathH3605 H2534.39He rememberedH2142 thatH3588 theyH1992 were but fleshH1320, a passingH1980 breezeH7307 that does notH3808 returnH7725.

40How oftenH4100 they disobeyed HimH4784 in the wildernessH4057and grieved HimH6087 in the desertH3452!41Again and againH7725 they testedH5254 GodH410and provokedH8428 the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.42They did notH3808 rememberH2142 His powerH3027 1—the dayH3117 He redeemed themH6299 fromH4480 the adversaryH6862,43whenH834 He performedH7760 His signsH226 in EgyptH4714and His wondersH4159 in the fieldsH7704 of ZoanH6814.

44He turnedH2015 their riversH2975 to bloodH1818,and from their streamsH5140 they could notH1077 drinkH8354.45He sentH7971 swarms of fliesH6157 that devoured themH398,and frogsH6854 that devastated themH7843.46He gaveH5414 their cropsH2981 to the grasshopperH2625,the fruit of their laborH3018 to the locustH697.47He killedH2026 their vinesH1612 with hailstonesH1259and their sycamore-figsH8256 with sleetH2602.248He abandonedH5462 their cattleH1165 to the hailH1259and their livestockH4735 to bolts of lightningH7565.

49He unleashedH7971 His furyH2740 H639 against them,wrathH5678, indignationH2195, and calamityH6869—a bandH4917 of destroyingH7451 angelsH4397.50He clearedH6424 a pathH5410 for His angerH639;He did notH3808 spareH2820 themH5315 from deathH4194but deliveredH5462 their livesH2416 to the plagueH1698.51He struckH5221 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of EgyptH4714,the virilityH7225 H202 in the tentsH168 of HamH2526.

52He led out His peopleH5971 H5265 like sheepH6629and guided themH5090 like a flockH5739 in the wildernessH4057.53He led themH5148 safelyH983, so they did notH3808 fearH6342,butH853 the seaH3220 engulfedH3680 their enemiesH341.54He brought themH935 toH413 His holyH6944 landH1366,to the mountainH2022 H2088 His right handH3225 had acquiredH7069.55He drove outH1644 nationsH1471 before themH6440and apportionedH5307 H2256 their inheritanceH5159;He settledH7931 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 in their tentsH168.

56But they testedH5254 and disobeyedH4784 GodH430 Most HighH5945,for they did notH3808 keepH8104 His decreesH5713.57They turned backH5472 and were faithlessH898 like their fathersH1,twistedH2015 like a faultyH7423 bowH7198.58They enraged HimH3707 with their high placesH1116and provoked His jealousyH7065 with their idolsH6456.

59On hearing itH8085, GodH430 was furiousH5674and rejectedH3988 IsraelH3478 completelyH3966.60He abandonedH5203 the tabernacleH4908 of ShilohH7887,the tentH168 He had pitchedH7931 among menH120.61He deliveredH5414 His strengthH5797 to captivityH7628,and His splendorH8597 to the handH3027 of the adversaryH6862.62He surrenderedH5462 His peopleH5971 to the swordH2719because He was enragedH5674 by His heritageH5159.63FireH784 consumedH398 His young menH970,and their maidensH1330 were left withoutH3808 wedding songsH1984.64His priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719,but their widowsH490 could notH3808 lamentH1058.
