24The Lord made his people exceedingly fruitful; *
he made them stronger than their enemies;
25Whose heart he turned, so that they hated his people, *
and dealt unjustly with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant, *
and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27They worked his signs among them, *
and portents in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and it grew dark; *
but the Egyptians rebelled against his words.
29He turned their waters into blood *
and caused their fish to die.
30Their land was overrun by frogs, *
in the very chambers of their kings.
31He spoke, and there came swarms of insects *
and gnats within all their borders.
32He gave them hailstones instead of rain, *
and flames of fire throughout their land.
33He blasted their vines and their fig trees *
and shattered every tree in their country.
34He spoke, and the locust came, *
and young locusts without number,
35Which ate up all the green plants in their land *
and devoured the fruit of their soil.
36He struck down the firstborn of their land, *
the firstfruits of all their strength.
37He led out his people with silver and gold; *
in all their tribes there was not one that stumbled.
740Psalm 105
