Psalms 78:38-48

38Yet he is compassionate. He forgives sin and does not destroy. He often holds back his anger, and does not stir up his fury.

39He remembered that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return.

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

41They again challenged God, and offended the Holy One of Israel.

42They did not remember what he had done, how he delivered them from the enemy,

43when he performed his awesome deeds in Egypt, and his acts of judgment in the region of Zoan.

44He turned their rivers into blood, and they could not drink from their streams.

45He sent swarms of biting insects against them, as well as frogs that overran their land.

46He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust.

47He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore-fig trees with driving rain.

48He rained hail down on their cattle, and hurled lightning bolts down on their livestock.
