Psalms 78:48-54 Common English Bible (CEB)

48. God delivered their cattle over to disease,their herds to plagues.

49. God unleashed his burning anger against them—fury, indignation, distress,a troop of evil messengers.

50. God blazed a path for his wrath.He didn’t save them from death,but delivered their lives over to disease.

51. God struck down all of Egypt’s oldest males;in Ham’s tents, he struck their pride and joy.

52. God led his own people out like sheep,guiding them like a flock in the wilderness.

53. God led them in safety—they were not afraid!But the sea engulfed their enemies!

54. God brought them to his holy territory,to the mountain that his own strong hand had acquired.
