Psalms 78:49-59

49He sent on them the fury of His anger —wrath and indignation and trouble— a band of evil angels.

50He cleared a path for His anger. He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the plague.

51He struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52But He brought His people out like sheep, and led them in the wilderness like a flock.

53He led them to safety, so they did not fear, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54Then He brought them to His holy territory, to the mountain His right hand had gotten.

55He drove out nations before them, and allotted them an inheritance. He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

56Yet they tested and rebelled against El Elyon, and did not keep His decrees.

57Like their fathers they turned and were treacherous. They turned aside like a faulty bow.

58For they provoked Him with their high places, so they aroused His jealousy with their graven images.

59God heard and was furious, and He greatly detested Israel.
