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. 77:57. And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow. 77:58. They provoked him to anger on their hills: and moved him to jealousy with their graven things. 77:59. God heard, and despised them, and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing. 77:60. And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, his tabernacle where he dwelt among men. 77:61. And he delivered their strength into captivity: and their beauty into the hands of the enemy. 77:62. And he shut up his people under the sword: and he despised his inheritance. 77:63. Fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not lamented. 77:64. Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn. 77:65. And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine. 77:66. And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: he put them to an everlasting reproach. 77:67. And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 77:68. But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved.
