Psalm 78:49-56 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,
