Psalms 105:23-38

23Then Israel came to Egypt. Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

24The Lord made his people grow rapidly in number and stronger than their enemies.

25He changed their minds so that they hated his people, and they dealt treacherously with his servants.

26He sent his servant Moses, and he sent Aaron, whom he had chosen.

27They displayed his miraculous signs among them and did amazing things in the land of Ham.

28He sent darkness and made ⌞their land⌟ dark. They did not rebel against his orders.

29He turned their water into blood and caused their fish to die.

30He made their land swarm with frogs, even in the kings’ bedrooms.

31He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats infested their whole territory.

32He gave them hail and lightning instead of rain throughout their land.

33He struck their grapevines and fig trees and smashed the trees in their territory.

34He spoke, and countless locusts and grasshoppers came.

35They devoured all the plants in the land. They devoured the crops in the fields.

36He killed all the firstborn sons, the first ones born in the land when their fathers were young.

37He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and no one among his tribes stumbled.

38The Egyptians were terrified of Israel, so they were glad when Israel left.
