Psalm 78:40-55

New International Version

⁴⁰ How often they rebelled^(A) against him in the wilderness^(B)
    and grieved him^(C) in the wasteland!
⁴¹ Again and again they put God to the test;^(D)
    they vexed the Holy One of Israel.^(E)
42 They did not remember^(F) his power—
    the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,^(G)
43 the day he displayed his signs^(H) in Egypt,
    his wonders^(I) in the region of Zoan.
⁴⁴ He turned their river into blood;^(J)
    they could not drink from their streams.
⁴⁵ He sent swarms of flies^(K) that devoured them,
    and frogs^(L) that devastated them.
⁴⁶ He gave their crops to the grasshopper,^(M)
    their produce to the locust.^(N)
47 He destroyed their vines with hail^(O)
    and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
⁴⁸ He gave over their cattle to the hail,
    their livestock^(P) to bolts of lightning.
⁴⁹ He unleashed against them his hot anger,^(Q)
    his wrath, indignation and hostility—
    a band of destroying angels.^(R)
50 He prepared a path for his anger;
    he did not spare them from death
    but gave them over to the plague.
⁵¹ He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,^(S)
    the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.^(T)
52 But he brought his people out like a flock;^(U)
    he led them like sheep through the wilderness.
⁵³ He guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
    but the sea engulfed^(V) their enemies.^(W)
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
    to the hill country his right hand^(X) had taken.
⁵⁵ He drove out nations^(Y) before them
    and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;^(Z)
    he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
