41 Yes,
a again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.
‡
42 They did not remember His
1 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 a Turned their rivers into blood,
And their streams, that they could not drink.
‡
45 a He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,
And
b frogs, which destroyed them.
‡
46 He also gave their crops to the caterpillar,
And their labor to the
a locust.
‡
47 a He destroyed their vines with hail,
And their sycamore trees with frost.
‡
48 He also gave up their
a cattle to the hail,
And their flocks to fiery
1 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
1 their life over to the plague,
‡
51 And destroyed all the
a firstborn in Egypt,
The first of
their strength in the tents of Ham.
‡
52 But He
a made His own people go forth like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
‡
53 And He
a led them on safely, so that they did not fear;
But the sea
b overwhelmed their enemies.
‡
54 And He brought them to His
a holy border,
This mountain
b which His right hand had acquired.
‡
55 a He also drove out the nations before them,
b Allotted them an inheritance by
1 survey,
And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
