Psalm 78:49-62 English Standard Version (ESV)

49. He let loose on them his burning anger,wrath, indignation, and distress,a company of destroying angels.

50. He made a path for his anger;he did not spare them from death,but gave their lives over to the plague.

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

52. Then he led out his people like sheepand guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

53. He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid,but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54. And he brought them to his holy land, to the mountain which his right hand had won.

55. He drove out nations before them;he apportioned them for a possessionand settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

56. Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High Godand did not keep his testimonies,

57. but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;they twisted like a deceitful bow.

58. For they provoked him to anger with their high places;they moved him to jealousy with their idols.

59. When God heard, he was full of wrath,and he utterly rejected Israel.

60. He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh,the tent where he dwelt among mankind,

61. and delivered his power to captivity,his glory to the hand of the foe.

62. He gave his people over to the swordand vented his wrath on his heritage.
