Psalm 78:47-56 American Standard Version (ASV)

47. He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost.

48. He gave over 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, A band of angels of evil.

50. He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,

51. And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52. But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

53. And he led them safely, so that they feared not; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54. And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.

55. He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

56. Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;
