Psalms 78:49-59

49He cast on them the fierceness of His anger, Wrath, indignation, and trouble, By sending angels of destruction among them.

50He made a path for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death, But gave their life over to the plague,

51And destroyed all the firstborn in Egypt, The first of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52But He made His own people go forth like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

53And He led them on safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54And He brought them to His holy border, This mountain which His right hand had acquired.

55He also drove out the nations before them, Allotted them an inheritance by survey, And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

56Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God, And did not keep His testimonies,

57But turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers; They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58For they provoked Him to anger with their high places, And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.

59When God heard this, He was furious, And greatly abhorred Israel,
