Psalms 78:38-48

38Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often and did not stir up all his wrath.

39He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.

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

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

42They did not remember his power or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,

43when he performed his signs in Egypt and his marvels in the fields of Zoan.

44He turned their rivers to blood, so that they could not drink of their streams.

45He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.

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

47He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamores with frost.

48He gave over their cattle to the hail and their flocks to thunderbolts.
