48
He also gave up their cattle to the hail, And their flocks to fiery lightning.
49
He cast on them the fierceness of His anger, Wrath, indignation, and trouble, By sending angels of destruction among them.
50
He made a path for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death, But gave their life over to the plague,
51
And destroyed all the firstborn in Egypt, The first of their strength in the tents of Ham.
52
But He made His own people go forth like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
53
And He led them on safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54
And He brought them to His holy border, This mountain which His right hand had acquired.
55
He also drove out the nations before them, Allotted them an inheritance by survey, And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
56
Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God, And did not keep His testimonies,
57
But turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers; They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58
For they provoked Him to anger with their high places, And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.
