Psalms 78:44 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 78:44

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.
