Psalms 78:41-56
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 78
41Again and again they tempted God, And pained the Holy One of Israel. 42They did not remember His power, The day when He redeemed them from the enemy, 43When He performed His signs in Egypt And His marvels in the field of Zoan, 44And turned their rivers to blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink. 45He sent swarms of flies among them that devoured them, And frogs that destroyed them. 46He also gave their crops to the grasshopper And the product of their labor to the locust. 47He destroyed their vines with hailstones And their sycamore trees with frost. 48He also turned their cattle over to the hailstones, And their herds to bolts of lightning. 49He sent His burning anger upon them, Fury and indignation and trouble, A band of destroying angels. 50He leveled a path for His anger; He did not spare their souls from death, But turned their lives over to the plague, 51And struck all the firstborn in Egypt, The first and best of their vigor in the tents of Ham. 52But He led His own people out like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock; 53He led them safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea engulfed their enemies. 54So He brought them to His holy land, To this hill country which His right hand had gained. 55He also drove out the nations from them And apportioned them as an inheritance by measurement, And had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents. 56Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God And did not keep His testimonies,King James Version
Chapter 78
41Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 42They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. 43How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: 44And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. 45He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 46He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. 47He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. 48He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 49He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. 50He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; 51And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: 52But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 53And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 54And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. 55He 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. 56Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 78
41They constantly tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel. 42They did not remember his power shown on the day he redeemed them from the foe, 43when he performed his miraculous signs in Egypt and his wonders in the territory of Zoan. 44He turned their rivers into blood, and they could not drink from their streams. 45He sent among them swarms of flies, which fed on them, and frogs, which devastated them. 46He gave their crops to the caterpillar and the fruit of their labor to the locust. 47He killed their vines with hail and their sycamore fig trees with a flood. 48He handed over their livestock to hail and their cattle to lightning bolts. 49He sent his burning anger against them: fury, indignation, and calamity -- a band of deadly messengers. 50He cleared a path for his anger. He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague. 51He struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the first progeny of the tents of Ham. 52He led his people out like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness. 53He led them safely, and they were not afraid; but the sea covered their enemies. 54He brought them to his holy territory, to the mountain his right hand acquired.New Living Translation
Chapter 78
41Again and again they tested God’s patience and provoked the Holy One of Israel. 42They did not remember his power and how he rescued them from their enemies. 43They did not remember his miraculous signs in Egypt, his wonders on the plain of Zoan. 44For he turned their rivers into blood, so no one could drink from the streams. 45He sent vast swarms of flies to consume them and hordes of frogs to ruin them. 46He gave their crops to caterpillars; their harvest was consumed by locusts. 47He destroyed their grapevines with hail and shattered their sycamore-figs with sleet. 48He abandoned their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning. 49He loosed on them his fierce anger — all his fury, rage, and hostility. He dispatched against them a band of destroying angels. 50He turned his anger against them; he did not spare the Egyptians’ lives but ravaged them with the plague. 51He killed the oldest son in each Egyptian family, the flower of youth throughout the land of Egypt. 52But he led his own people like a flock of sheep, guiding them safely through the wilderness. 53He kept them safe so they were not afraid; but the sea covered their enemies. 54He brought them to the border of his holy land, to this land of hills he had won for them. 55He drove out the nations before them; he gave them their inheritance by lot. He settled the tribes of Israel into their homes.English Standard Version
Chapter 78
41They tested God again and again and provoked the Holy One of Israel. 42They did not remember his power or the day when he redeemed them from the foe, 43when he performed his signs in Egypt and his marvels in the fields of Zoan. 44He turned their rivers to blood, so that they could not drink of their streams. 45He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them. 46He gave their crops to the destroying locust and the fruit of their labor to the locust. 47He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamores with frost. 48He gave over their cattle to the hail and their flocks to thunderbolts. 49He let loose on them his burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, a company of destroying angels. 50He made a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death, but gave their lives over to the plague. 51He struck down every firstborn in Egypt, the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham. 52Then he led out his people like sheep and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 53He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 54And he brought them to his holy land, to the mountain which his right hand had won. 55He drove out nations before them; he apportioned them for a possession and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents. 56Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God and did not keep his testimonies,New International Version
Chapter 78
41Again and again they put God to the test; they vexed the Holy One of Israel. 42They did not remember his power-- the day he redeemed them from the oppressor, 43the day he displayed his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the region of Zoan. 44He turned their river into blood; they could not drink from their streams. 45He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them. 46He gave their crops to the grasshopper, their produce to the locust. 47He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore-figs with sleet. 48He gave over their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning. 49He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, indignation and hostility-- a band of destroying angels. 50He prepared a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death but gave them over to the plague. 51He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt, the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham. 52But he brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the wilderness. 53He guided them safely, so they were unafraid; but the sea engulfed their enemies. 54And so he brought them to the border of his holy land, to the hill country his right hand had taken.New King James Version
