Psalms 78:38-48

38But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, And did not destroy them. Yes, many a time He turned His anger away, And did not stir up all His wrath;

39For He remembered that they were but flesh, A breath that passes away and does not come again.

40How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert!

41Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel.

42They did not remember His power: The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,

43When He worked His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan;

44Turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, that they could not drink.

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

46He also gave their crops to the caterpillar, And their labor to the locust.

47He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycamore trees with frost.

48He also gave up their cattle to the hail, And their flocks to fiery lightning.
