Psalm 78:50-52
New English Translation

50 He sent his anger in full force.[a]
He did not spare them from death;
he handed their lives over to destruction.[b]
51 He struck down all the firstborn in Egypt,
the firstfruits of their reproductive power[c] in the tents of Ham.
52 Yet he brought out his people like sheep;
he led them through the wilderness like a flock.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 78:50 tn Heb “he leveled a path for his anger.” There were no obstacles to impede its progress; it moved swiftly and destructively.
  2. Psalm 78:50 tn Or perhaps “[the] plague.”
  3. Psalm 78:51 tn Heb “the beginning of strength.” If retained, the plural form אוֹנִים (ʾonim, “strength”) probably indicates degree (“great strength”), but many ancient witnesses read “their strength,” which presupposes an emendation to אֹנָם (ʾonam; singular form of the noun with third masculine plural pronominal suffix).
