Psalms 78:38-48

38Yet he was compassionate; he atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often turned his anger aside and did not unleash all his wrath.

39He remembered that they were only flesh, a wind that passes and does not return.

40How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert.

41They constantly tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

42They did not remember his power shown on the day he redeemed them from the foe,

43when he performed his miraculous signs in Egypt and his wonders in the territory of Zoan.

44He turned their rivers into blood, and they could not drink from their streams.

45He sent among them swarms of flies, which fed on them, and frogs, which devastated them.

46He gave their crops to the caterpillar and the fruit of their labor to the locust.

47He killed their vines with hail and their sycamore fig trees with a flood.

48He handed over their livestock to hail and their cattle to lightning bolts.
