28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His word.

29 ^aHe turned their waters into blood,
And killed their fish. ‡

30 ^aTheir land abounded with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings. ‡

31 ^aHe spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their territory. ‡

32 ^aHe gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land. ‡

33 ^aHe struck their vines also, and their fig trees,
And splintered the trees of their territory. ‡

34 ^aHe spoke, and locusts came,
Young locusts without number, ‡

35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
And devoured the fruit of their ground.

36 ^aHe also¹ destroyed all the firstborn in their land,
^bThe first of all their strength. ‡

37 ^aHe also brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none feeble among His tribes. ‡

38 ^aEgypt was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen upon them. ‡

39 ^aHe spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night. ‡

40 ^aThe people asked, and He brought quail,
And ^bsatisfied them with the bread of heaven. ‡

41 ^aHe opened the rock, and water gushed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river. ‡

42 For He remembered ^aHis holy promise,
And Abraham His servant. ‡

43 He brought out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with¹ gladness. ‡

44 ^aHe gave them the lands of the¹ Gentiles,
And they inherited the labor of the nations, ‡

45 ^aThat they might observe His statutes
And keep His laws.
¹Praise the Lord! ‡
