Psalms 78:42

Compare all

40 How often they ^aprovoked Him in the wilderness,
And grieved Him in the desert!

41 Yes, ^aagain and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.

42 They did not remember His¹ power:
The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,

43 When He worked His signs in Egypt,
And His wonders in the field of Zoan;

44 ^aTurned their rivers into blood,
And their streams, that they could not drink.

45 ^aHe sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,
And ^bfrogs, which destroyed them.

46 He also gave their crops to the caterpillar,
And their labor to the ^alocust.

47 ^aHe destroyed their vines with hail,
And their sycamore trees with frost.

48 He also gave up their ^acattle to the hail,
And their flocks to fiery¹ 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 gave¹ their life over to the plague,

51 And destroyed all the ^afirstborn in Egypt,
The first of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52 But He ^amade His own people go forth like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

53 And He ^aled them on safely, so that they did not fear;
But the sea ^boverwhelmed their enemies.

Psalms 78:42

They remembered not his hand - His gracious interpositions; the manifestations of his power. They forgot that power had been exercised which showed that he was omnipotent - that there was no limit to his ability to aid them.

Nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy - The time when he rescued them. The power then manifested was sufficient to defend and deliver them in any new dangers that could befall them. The margin is, from affliction. The Hebrew will admit of either interpretation. The sense is not materially changed.
