Psalms 78:38-51

1. 38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

2. 39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

3. 40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

4. 41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

5. 42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

6. 43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

7. 44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

8. 45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

9. 46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

10. 47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.

11. 48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

12. 49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

13. 50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

14. 51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
