Psalms 105:28
26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27 They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.
29 He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
30 Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
