Psalms 78:46-63
-
46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
-
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
-
48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
-
49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
-
50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
-
51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
-
52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
-
53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
-
54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
-
55 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
-
56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
-
57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
-
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
-
59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
-
60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
-
61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
-
62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
-
63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
