Read in context

Psalms 78:49–53 · Berean Standard Bible

49 He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity— a band of destroying angels.

50 He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.

51 He struck all the firstborn of Egypt, the virility in the tents of Ham.

52 He led out His people like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

53 He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.
