Psalms 78:49-59

49He sent his burning anger against them: fury, indignation, and calamity — a band of deadly messengers.

50He cleared a path for his anger. He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.

51He struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the first progeny of the tents of Ham.

52He led his people out like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

53He led them safely, and they were not afraid; but the sea covered their enemies.

54He brought them to his holy territory, to the mountain his right hand acquired.

55He drove out nations before them. He apportioned their inheritance by lot and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

56But they rebelliously tested the Most High God, for they did not keep his decrees.

57They treacherously turned away like their ancestors; they became warped like a faulty bow.

58They enraged him with their high places and provoked his jealousy with their carved images.

59God heard and became furious; he completely rejected Israel.
