Psalms 78:42

⁴⁰ How often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!

⁴¹ Again and again they tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

They did not remember His power — the day He redeemed them from the adversary,

⁴³ when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.

⁴⁴ He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
