Bible. Psalms
77:29. So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them
their desire:
77:30. they were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their
meat was in their mouth:
77:31. And the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones
amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel.
77:32. In all these things they sinned still: and they behaved not for
his wondrous works.
77:33. And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste.
77:34. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and
came to him early in the morning.
77:35. And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high
God their redeemer.
77:36. And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they
lied unto him:
77:37. But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted
faithful in his covenant.
77:38. But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not
destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not
kindle all his wrath.
77:39. And he remembered that they are flesh: a wind that goeth and
returneth not.
77:40. How often did they provoke him in the desert: and move him to
wrath in the place without water?
77:41. And they turned back and tempted God: and grieved the holy one of
Israel.
77:42. They remembered not his hand, in the day that he redeemed them
from the hand of him that afflicted them:
77:43. How he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field
of Tanis.
77:44. And he turned their rivers into blood, and their showers that
they might not drink.
77:45. He sent amongst them divers sorts of flies, which devoured them:
and frogs which destroyed them.
77:46. And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to
the locust.
77:47. And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry
trees with hoarfrost.
77:48. And he gave up their cattle to the hail, and their stock to the
fire.
77:49. And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: indignation
and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.
77:50. He made a way for a path to his anger: he spared not their souls
from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.
77:51. And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the
firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
77:52. And he took away his own people as sheep: and guided them in the
wilderness like a flock.
77:53. And he brought them out in hope and they feared not: and the sea
overwhelmed their enemies.
77:54. And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: the
mountain which his right hand had purchased. And he cast out the
Gentiles before them: and by lot divided to them their land by a line of
distribution.
77:55. And he made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
77:56. Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: and they kept
not his testimonies.
