Psalms 78:32-55

32For allH3605 this they sinnedH2398 stillH5750, and believedH539 notH3808 in his wondrousH6381 worksH6381.

33Therefore their daysH3117 didH3117 he consumeH3615 in vanityH1892, and their yearsH8141 in terrorH928.

34When he slewH2026 them, then they inquiredH1875 afterH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and soughtH1875 GodH410 early.

35And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697, and the Most High GodH430 their redeemerH1350.

36But they flattered him with their mouthH6310, and liedH3576 unto him with their tongueH3956.

37For their heartH3820 was notH3808 rightH3559 with him, neitherH3808 were they faithfulH539 in his covenantH1285.

38But he, being fullH3605 of compassion, forgave their iniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843 them notH3808: yea, manyH7235 a time turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725, and didH3808 notH3808 stirH5782 upH5782 allH3605 his wrathH2534.

39And he rememberedH2142 that they were but fleshH1320; a windH7307 that passeth awayH7725, and cometh notH3808 againH7725.

40HowH4100 oft didH4100 they rebelH4784 againstH4784 him in the wildernessH4057, and grieveH6087 him in the desertH3452!

41And they turnedH7725 againH7725 and temptedH5254 GodH410, and provoked the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.

42They rememberedH2142 notH3808 his handH3027, norH3808 the dayH3117 when he redeemedH6299 them from the adversary.

43HowH834 he setH7760 his signsH226 in EgyptH4714, and his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814;

44And turnedH2015 their riversH2975 intoH2015 bloodH1818, and their streamsH2975, that they could notH1077 drinkH8354.

45He sentH7971 among them swarmsH6157 of fliesH6157, whichH6157 devouredH398 them; and frogsH6854, whichH6157 destroyedH7843 them.

46He gaveH5414 also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locustH697.

47He destroyedH2026 their vinesH1612 with hailH1259, and their sycomore treesH8256 with frostH2602.

48He gaveH5462 over their cattleH4735 also to the hailH1259, and their flocksH4735 to hot thunderbolts.

49He castH7971 upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, wrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH7451, a bandH4917 of angelsH4397 of evilH7451.

50He made a pathH5410 for his angerH639; he sparedH2820 notH3808 their soulH5315 from deathH4194, but gaveH5462 their lifeH5315 over to the pestilenceH1698;

51And smoteH5221 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714, the chief of their strengthH202 in the tentsH168 of HamH2526:

52But he ledH5090 forthH5265 his own peopleH5971 like sheepH6629, and guided them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH6629.

53And he ledH5148 them safelyH983, soH3808 that they feared notH3808: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680 their enemiesH341.

54And he broughtH935 them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944, to this mountainH2022, whichH2088 his rightH3225 handH3225 had purchasedH7069.

55He droveH1644 outH1644 the nationsH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and allottedH5307 them for an inheritanceH5159 by lineH2256, and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.
