Psalms 78:52
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.
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.
54 He brought them to His holy land, to the mountain His right hand had acquired.
