He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you victory!’

Psalms 105:27-36
They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians, and wonders in the land of Ham.The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness, for they had defied his commands to let his people go.He turned their water into blood, poisoning all the fish.Then frogs overran the land and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.When the Lord spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians, and gnats swarmed across Egypt.He sent them hail instead of rain, and lightning flashed over the land.He ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the trees.He spoke, and hordes of locusts came— young locusts beyond number.They ate up everything green in the land, destroying all the crops in their fields.Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home, the pride and joy of each family.

Exodus 15:1-27
Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord:“ I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!Pharaoh’s chariots and army he has hurled into the sea. The finest of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea.The deep waters gushed over them; they sank to the bottom like a stone.“ Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power. Your right hand, O Lord, smashes the enemy.In the greatness of your majesty, you overthrow those who rise against you. You unleash your blazing fury; it consumes them like straw.At the blast of your breath, the waters piled up! The surging waters stood straight like a wall; in the heart of the sea the deep waters became hard.“ The enemy boasted,‘ I will chase them and catch up with them. I will plunder them and consume them. I will flash my sword; my powerful hand will destroy them.’But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.“ Who is like you among the gods, O Lord— glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?You raised your right hand, and the earth swallowed our enemies.“ With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home.The peoples hear and tremble; anguish grips those who live in Philistia.The leaders of Edom are terrified; the nobles of Moab tremble. All who live in Canaan melt away;terror and dread fall upon them. The power of your arm makes them lifeless as stone until your people pass by, O Lord, until the people you purchased pass by.You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain— the place, O Lord, reserved for your own dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.The Lord will reign forever and ever!”When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and charioteers rushed into the sea, the Lord brought the water crashing down on them. But the people of Israel had walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground!Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine and led all the women as they played their tambourines and danced.And Miriam sang this song:“ Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.”Then Moses led the people of Israel away from the Red Sea, and they moved out into the desert of Shur. They traveled in this desert for three days without finding any water.When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink. So they called the place Marah( which means“ bitter”).Then the people complained and turned against Moses.“ What are we going to drink?” they demanded.So Moses cried out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink. It was there at Marah that the Lord set before them the following decree as a standard to test their faithfulness to him.He said,“ If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.”After leaving Marah, the Israelites traveled on to the oasis of Elim, where they found twelve springs and seventy palm trees. They camped there beside the water.

Psalms 78:11-13

Exodus 7:1-25
Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Pay close attention to this. I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother, Aaron, will be your prophet.Tell Aaron everything I command you, and Aaron must command Pharaoh to let the people of Israel leave his country.But I will make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.Even then Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you. So I will bring down my fist on Egypt. Then I will rescue my forces— my people, the Israelites— from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.When I raise my powerful hand and bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them.Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty three when they made their demands to Pharaoh.Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,“ Pharaoh will demand,‘ Show me a miracle.’ When he does this, say to Aaron,‘ Take your staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had commanded them. Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent!Then Pharaoh called in his own wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing with their magic.They threw down their staffs, which also became serpents! But then Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.Pharaoh’s heart, however, remained hard. He still refused to listen, just as the Lord had predicted.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn, and he still refuses to let the people go.So go to Pharaoh in the morning as he goes down to the river. Stand on the bank of the Nile and meet him there. Be sure to take along the staff that turned into a snake.Then announce to him,‘ The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you,“ Let my people go, so they can worship me in the wilderness.” Until now, you have refused to listen to him.So this is what the Lord says:“ I will show you that I am the Lord.” Look! I will strike the water of the Nile with this staff in my hand, and the river will turn to blood.The fish in it will die, and the river will stink. The Egyptians will not be able to drink any water from the Nile.’”Then the Lord said to Moses:“ Tell Aaron,‘ Take your staff and raise your hand over the waters of Egypt— all its rivers, canals, ponds, and all the reservoirs. Turn all the water to blood. Everywhere in Egypt the water will turn to blood, even the water stored in wooden bowls and stone pots.’”So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord commanded them. As Pharaoh and all of his officials watched, Aaron raised his staff and struck the water of the Nile. Suddenly, the whole river turned to blood!The fish in the river died, and the water became so foul that the Egyptians couldn’t drink it. There was blood everywhere throughout the land of Egypt.But again the magicians of Egypt used their magic, and they, too, turned water into blood. So Pharaoh’s heart remained hard. He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.Pharaoh returned to his palace and put the whole thing out of his mind.Then all the Egyptians dug along the riverbank to find drinking water, for they couldn’t drink the water from the Nile.Seven days passed from the time the Lord struck the Nile.

Psalms 78:43-51
They did not remember his miraculous signs in Egypt, his wonders on the plain of Zoan.For he turned their rivers into blood, so no one could drink from the streams.He sent vast swarms of flies to consume them and hordes of frogs to ruin them.He gave their crops to caterpillars; their harvest was consumed by locusts.He destroyed their grapevines with hail and shattered their sycamore figs with sleet.He abandoned their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning.He loosed on them his fierce anger— all his fury, rage, and hostility. He dispatched against them a band of destroying angels.He turned his anger against them; he did not spare the Egyptians’ lives but ravaged them with the plague.He killed the oldest son in each Egyptian family, the flower of youth throughout the land of Egypt.
