Psalms 78:49-59

49He sent his burning anger, rage, fury, and hostility against them. He sent an army of destroying angels.

50He cleared a path for his anger. He did not spare them. He let the plague take their lives.

51He slaughtered every firstborn in Egypt, the ones born in the tents of Ham when their fathers were young.

52But he led his own people out like sheep and guided them like a flock through the wilderness.

53He led them safely. They had no fear while the sea covered their enemies.

54He brought them into his holy land, to this mountain that his power had won.

55He forced nations out of their way and gave them the land of the nations as their inheritance. He settled the tribes of Israel in their own tents.

56They tested God Most High and rebelled against him. They did not obey his written instructions.

57They were disloyal and treacherous like their ancestors. They were like arrows shot from a defective bow.

58They made him angry because of their illegal worship sites. They made him furious because they worshiped idols.

59When God heard, he became furious. He completely rejected Israel.
