Psalms 78:38-48

38But He, being 1compassionate, 23forgave their wrongdoing and did not destroy them; And often He 45restrained His anger And did not stir up all His wrath.39So 6He remembered that they were only 7flesh, A 89wind that passes and does not return.

40How often they 10rebelled against Him in the wilderness And 11grieved Him in the 12desert!41Again and again they 1314tempted God, And pained the 15Holy One of Israel.42They 16did not remember 17His 18power, The day when He 19redeemed them from the enemy,43When He performed His 20signs in Egypt And His 21marvels in the field of Zoan,44And 22turned their rivers to blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.45He sent swarms of 23flies among them that devoured them, And 24frogs that destroyed them.46He also gave their crops to the 25grasshopper And the product of their labor to the 26locust.47He 27destroyed their vines with 28hailstones And their sycamore trees with frost.48He also turned their 29cattle over to the hailstones, And their herds to bolts of lightning.
