Psalms 78:48 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 78:48

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.

54 And He brought them to His ^aholy border,
This mountain ^bwhich His right hand had acquired.

55 ^aHe also drove out the nations before them,
^bAllotted them an inheritance by¹ survey,
And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
